According to the Wikipedia article on "Uranus":
'Identification of the name Uranous with Indian Varuna is widely rejected. The most probably etymology is from Proto-Greek *vorsanos, from a PIE root *vers "to moisten".' Although I don't know what you gain by comparing rex, a Latin word introduced into Greek thousands of years after its split from what would become Sanskrit, and réecs, the translation is striking and well done. As others say below, Do it in Proto-Greek!

IMHO this is about 50% intelligible by any Greek and almost fully intelligible to an educated Greek [[User:Chronographos|Chronographos]] 8 July 2005 15:00 (UTC)
