What is more natural than "son's wife" or "son's woman" for daughter-
in-law?

You have helped illustrate the lack of common sense of PIEists even
better.  "Daughter-in-law" is a derived relationship and whats more
natural than for it to be derived from the word for "son" ?

But, there is a small problem.
Hindi sukhanā (to dry; Serb. suknuti sudden gush of flame; sušiti to
dry; Skt.śuṣyati dry up) is related to the sun, as well as similar
words in Sanskrit.

Everything looks OK, but, nevertheless, there is no name for the sun
itself in Sanskrit (or I cannot find it) from which the word sūnu
(son) is derived. Unusual, isn't it?
