Bore:as < *BorHa:Has
Borrha:s < *BorHa:s. Perhaps this -rH- instead of < *rs (expected IE-Greek shift), came from -rz-<*-rdz-.

Yes, there are assumptions that Greek name of the North Wind, Borea:s
could be explained through the Alb. <borë> 'snow'. To my view, Alb.
<borë> is derived from *beH2-ro and is a substantivized adjective with
primary meaning "white".
