johannes: Sorry I could not reply earlier I have been having login troubles it would say successful login but would not login.
Lets just say that there is equal evidnece that Thor and Donar are not same root names. You have the sound change for Romance but what about Germanic? Possible cognates for Thor which entry I have not finished yet are: Taru, Tarhunt, Taranis, Tirawa, Tork, Triglav, Tur, Doris, Durga, Thur, Turisas, Trojanu, Shurdi, Stribog, Zibelthiurdos, Adro, Adar, Indra, Indr, Aether, Adraste, Adrastea, Andrasta, Thraetona, Druj, Asshur, Turan? (wind/war, storms/sea, stroms/mtn, bull roar/thunder.)
I do not want to offend you but I can not remove non-European ones on trusting your word alone without (seeing) any of your claimed etymological counter evidence being given for my consideration. (If it is offensive then ask moderators to edit it. I did not do all that work just to blindly dump it.) Let other people decide for themselves. I am willing to take risks re "credibility" tho I try to be balanced. (No offense but is there a feeling/thought behind you not agreeing with non-Euro evidence namely for cultural/racial implications (cross-fertilisation/diffusion)?)
