Interpretation of Sanskrit Indra as cognate of Slavic je,dru "swift,
impetuous" points to a PIE *yendro-, yNdro. Greek hadros "strong, thick"
too?
But...
The most correct Skt. form should be *Yandra, *Yadra, or not? May years ago,
I've ever thought in relate Indra to Sumerian Ninurta (Enurta) or Egyptian
Anhert (Onuris), or even Greek Ares, but I confess that these bettings are
not very plausible.
