That's right, of course (with some obvious reservations). But the
question was, how PIE *dHrougH- (> Sl. *drugU 'friend') and (your)
PIE *dHorgH- (> Sl. *dorgU 'dear') can be related? You just can't
ignore the fact that one observes *-rou- in the first protoform and *-
or- in the second, which would probably indicate the protoforms are
not related.
