Do you have any data to support Etruscan thu = PIE *dw?

============
There are the best reasons to
think that Zal is "two".
One of them is
the root *ts_?_tl "the rest".
Exhibited for example in
Hebrew : sha?ar
Egyptian : ts?_ar (ts+? fused)
meaning "the rest"
With dual meaning,
the rest in a pair of two items
is the "other" one.
Hence PIE *al-yos < H2_l
And I think Germanic *al
is basically the same root
with "the rest" > "all the rest" > "all"
The correspondance tl > l
exists in other words.
Zal must be read as *ts(?)al
"second" < "other"
