They're not *my* reconstructions, they are Pokorny's and Adams'.
About words ending in vocalic /-r./ in Sanskrit: there are none in the
R.gveda, but -/r./ occurs as a final vowel in the Bra:hman.as (in
particular for neuters in -tr.).
The situation in Vedic is as follows:
PIE Vedic
1. *-r. -ar
2. *-r.t -r.t
3. *-r.s -úr
4. *-r.gW -r.k
1. *Heg^hr. > áhar "day"
*h1ouHdhr. > ú:dhar "udder"
2. *yekwr.t > yákr.t "liver"
*k^ekwr.t > s'ákr.t "excrement"
3. G. *ph2tr.s > pitúr "father's"
3pl.pret. *-r. + s > -úr
4. *h1esh2r.gW > ásr.k "blood"
