I guess that you are aware of liquids' metathesis in South-Slavic
languages, which, I think, can't affect as diphthongs as vowels. So,
my reconstruction of protoform *dHo:rgHU 'dear', as an metathetic
variant of contracted and lengthened form of *dHrougH- seems very
convincible, after we see that regular outcome of /*o:/ > /a/ (it was
my mistake that I follow Mr. Vidal and you that /*o:/ can't yields
Slavic /a/, see previous messages).
I like to point out that also in other families of languages, words
for <friend> and for <dear> are related, cf. Turkish <arka
(r)dash> 'friend', <kardesh> 'brother', <karI> 'bride, the loved
one'.
