Heathens and other Pagans...?

I have come across a few words that I'm hoping you can help me with. They are referred to as sacred names but I cannot find them.

Watonos

Perkwaunos

Prewos

I'm hoping you can help me with them.

    Perkwaun, or Perun, is a slavic god of thunder and lightning, a counterpart of the norse Thor, with the difference that he was considered the ruler of gods, not his father (Svarun).

    Interesting enough, Perun's brother is Tier or Diermes. :) Spot any connections to Tyr or Diupitar (Jupiter) ?

    Found this online:

    The German Tradition identifies the Odin Hunter-Savage who led the "Hunting Christmas." His many names derive from the adjective proto-Indo-European Watos a word used on the ecstatic trance and from which the epithet Watonos (the Furious) is formed. The "angry" that personifies and gives faculties ecstatic and the prophetic genius of the shaman. We can see this root in many languages as the former Norois "Odhr" (inspiration), the German "Wut", the Saxon "Wod," Goth "Woths", the latin "Vates" which refer to the prophet and Irishman "Faith" for the bard ecstatic. "Old Nick" is one of the names of the god Odin, Hnikkar or "The Killer". Sometimes it is called Hakelberg or "Anyone who wears a coat, with her blue coat and large hat ribbon, always accompanied by crows, its sacred birds and whose disastrous horde is announced by the owl Tutursel. The places where he stopped to graze his horse become places where power, they say, the wind blows constantly.

    I'm not sure. Where did you come across the words? Heathery covers half of Europe and countless languages. Old German, Old Norse, Old Frisian, Anglo-Saxon etc. Give me a place to start and I can track some one down who knows. :)

    the words are proto-Indo-European, and the closest cognates today are Perkunos (honored by the Lithuanian pagan religion, Romuva) a storm god, perhaps the same as Perun.

    Watonos became Wodanaz, who became Woden, then Odhinn, or Odin.

    If I recall correctly, Perkwaunos and Prewos are Eastern European versions of the Deity Deiwas (Deity), also called Tiwaz, or Tyr. (in Norse)

    I think I know what thay may be supposed to be, but the spelling would be *way* off.

    Were they supposed to be Malay?

    ...haha..re:above answer, that'd make more sense.
