Re: [tied] Scythian Cognates -- more speculation

If so may I return to a unanswered question I asked before:
 
According to Herodotus Paralatai is a tribe descending from the youngest of 3 sons of Targitaus - Kolaxais, the king who possessed xwarena (if we accept the mentioned etymology).
According to Avesta Aryan is a tribe descending from the youngest of 3 sons of Thraetaona - Arya, the king who possessed xwarena.
 
Could Targitaus be linguistically compared to Thraetaona?

They may be based on the same root (the etymological interpretation of Persian xWar&nah- has been debated), and if so, *xWa:rya: would be a different but related word for the same thing -- royal glory.

Could *xWa:rya be interpreted as 'possessing xwarena' , the specific Iranian symbol of the sacral power?
