The alternate forms of *Varuna as Aruna/~Uruwana make possible that Greek
Ouranos had an Hurrian origin too. What was its original form? *Warwana,
*Arwana, *Urwana, Wr.wana, *Aruna, *Warwuna, *Auruna? Vedic Varuna seems to
combine traits of IE *Dyeus, Dumezilian Terrible Sovereign (maybe *h2Nsuros,
since Varuna was Varuna Asura, as Odin was Ódinn Áss), Middle East Sea-God
Ea-Enki (when Varuna became a Sea-God) and Sky-God An.
