"wedrą" meaning in Proto-Germanic

See wedrą in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈweð.rɑ̃/
Etymology: Uncertain; traditionally linked to Proto-Slavic *vedro (“good weather”), reconstructing a common Proto-Indo-European *wedʰrom, which is sometimes assumed to be from *h₂weh₁- (“to blow; wind”) + *-dʰrom (instrument noun–deriving suffix), equivalent to *wēaną + *-þrą. However, this etymology suffers phonetic difficulties, namely the lack of a long vowel and the descendants that reflect unvoiced *-þrą in the suffix. If from pre-Germanic *h₂weh₁tróm, perhaps a formation in common with Latvian vētra, Lithuanian vė́tra (“storm”) and Proto-Slavic *vě̀trъ (“wind, air”).
