zori (C) luck, fate, destiny
"This word is unusually interesting. It is attested in early texts as meaning `omen', and the great Basque linguist Michelena reconstructs the original sense as simply `bird'. Centuries ago it was a common practice to try to foretell the future by studying the flight of birds, and the Basque word for `bird' came to have the sense of `omen'. It is the palatalized form of this word, (t)xori, which is today the universal Basque word for `bird'." [lt]

I have included these Indo-Iranian words for the hell of it. It is heresy.
Believe it or not, RV cakra (or chakra) "wheel" is related to
Greek kuklos, Old Slavic kolo, Gaelic cuibhle, Old Norse hvēl, Middle Low German wēl, Medieval Dutch-Dutch wiel, Medieval Dutch wiele, wyel, Old Frisian hwēl and these are synonymous with Modern English "wheel" which is from Old English hwēol according to [ep: 802]
To stretch incredulity even further we have Proto-Finno-Ugric *kekrä, ‘wheel, circle, cycle’, borrowed from early Proto-Aryan *kekro- (from Proto-Indo-European kwekwlo-), a protoform of Sanskrit cakrá- according to [ap: p.42]
