    Fascinating. I add:

    war>crīgā(gave german 'krieg' and danish 'krig')
    (gave -possibly- 'cri' and 'crier', French "shout", noun and verb)
    fight>skermō(gave the word 'skirmish')
    die>dhewə (gave Deyja(old norse))
    (and this word Deyja -possibly- gave 'déjà', French "already")
    kill>colḗjō (nothing to explain here)
    (gave -possibly- colère, French "anger")
    destroy>dheukō (here neither...)
    (gave -possibly- dragon, if you pronounce the "h" like in German)
