I dont know all Greek trifles, but here are some "evenings":
βραδινός, εσπερινός, νυκτερινός, αποσπερνός
bradinos, eoperinos, nukterinos, apospernos.
"*weskWeros would lead
to Greek *westeros" i don't think so. Hippos <*ekWos (Lith. as^v
['a], as^v[i']enis) Let's look at the "eoperinos", i guess it would
be closelly related to the *wekWer-o-. I've big doubts, that Baltic
or Slavic could reflect *weskwer-o-...
