For *dʰǵʰu- (fish) I would suggest adding a Romanian correspondent: "juvete" (pronounced quite similarly to the Lith. žuvis) meaning "generic name for small fish" (according to the Romanian Explicative Dictionary - DEX '98: http://dexonline.ro/definitie/juvete ). The root is confirmed by the cognate "juvelnic" (meaning a kind of a basket or bag where the fish is kept alive in the water after being caught; see http://dexonline.ro/definitie/juvelnic ) Klewos 23:04, 29 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
