Slavic *x here is normal, it's -k^- which is reflexed as *s, not *x
in Slavic (both in or not in RUKI position). On the other hand, I'm
not aware of any reliable reflxes of *-k^H- in Slavic, but at least *-
kH- has been suspected to yield *x sometimes (like in *soxa 'wooden
plough'< (?)*k^akHah2).
As for *wr-, it's regular Slavic reflex is indeed *r-. <absolute
speculation>Again, if we assume Greek a'ruon to be a real cognate
(not a borrowing from the same source or a product of similar pre-PIE
substrate), why not from something like < *Hru- or *Hur- with a
metathesis in Greek or Balto-Slavic; then *H- would be reflexed as
Slavic *o- (not impossible), Baltic 0 (normal for such position) and
Greek a-. -e:iso- still needs explanation. Some suffix added on Balto-
Slavic stage?</absolute speculation>.
