The Asian words in *mor- apparently related to *marko are another
matter - though I always liked the idea of Thai maa_453 'horse' being
one of that language's oldest Germanic loanwords!

=========
Get ready to like it's a loanword of Asiatic origin.
Chinese ma3 supposes -?- in there.
Baxter has *mra? for example.
Mongolian morong
Burmese mrang
rGyarong mbro
QueYu bre13
AChang mzang
DaiWa mjang
Nusunu mre55
Bai ma33
TuJia ma55
I declare your idea "comprehensively refuted" !
Marko is *mor- plus a IE -ko suffix on it.
