What's your problem? PIE had both *h1rudH-ro- and *[h1]roudH-o- (as in
<ruber> vs. <ru:fus>, with a dialectal /f/). The predicted verbal
adjectives from the corresponding statives are, respectively,
*h1rudH-&1-tó- (thus or with analogical *-eh1-) and *roudH-e-h1-tó-. If
Latin has a suppletive "-e:re, -or, -idus" complex here, it's at least
easy to explain.
