Maybe Bor has conections with Vedic Varuna and Greek Uranos
(primeval gods). They belong for first generation of IE gods.
Varuna's name means "he, who covers", he is god of the sky, and his
name has semantic meaning with Lithuanian ancient god of the sky
Dangus (Dengti - to cover, Dangus - that, who covers).

I don't know anything about Ve, Villi, Bolthor and others, can you
write more about their functions?
