It seems to me that the god Odin or Wotan should be related to Indra, though no one seems to suggest that, and that all of these should be related to the word Water (which is from the same indo-european root as Unda in Latin), though no one seems to suggest that either. I think the d and the n got switched around, and that the gods might have been associated in an earlier form with the seas.

For credibility, I should have posted it on a rainy Wednesday.
