That can't be right because of

to sit
PIE *sed
Etr satH

day
PIE *den
Etr Tin

heaven, moon

PIE *deiw
Etr tivr

to build
PIE dem
Etr t(H)am

etc.

I agree that Etr alcH is ten, and further that Etr sar (usually
translated as 10) is something else, possibly 12 (plural of sa, 6).
However, I'd reconstruct the number as *atl'&k (tl' is an ejective
lateral affricate).
