An idea for Are:s would be Semitic Arsu (Palmyra, North Arabia), a god
of Evening Star, brother of Azizu, the Morning Star). I dont know if
his root was ´rs or `rs.

And another idea, Are:s < *N.re:s < *Hner- or some non-Greek NR-word ?
cf. Indra, Inarash, Ninurta, Onuris. Just a guess, I know it's not very
plausible.
