Parjanya is no exact cognate, see below. The labiovelar is reconstructed due to a Centum word for "oak", "coniferous tree", or "mountain", "coniferous mountain forest", *perkwus. Here also, the labiovelar is non-trivial, and indeed singular in the sequence *-kwu-,... its justification being in Latin quercus "oak", the result of an assimilatory Italo-Celtic sound law changing *p...kw to *kw...kw (compare quinque, Irish cóic vs. Sanskrit pañca "five", coquo vs. Sanskrit pacati "to cook"). Celtic *Ercunia, if cognate, did not partake in the assimilation, advising towards a cautious reconstruction of *perk(w)us.*perk(w)unos, then, is the god of the *perk(w)us, comparable to Germanic *Wodanaz being the god of the *wōþuz, by virtue of the same suffix *-no-.[2]The original meaning of this u-stem *perkwu- appears to be concept of an oak, a coniferous forest, a mountain forest, or a wooded mountain:"oak": Latin quercus, Old High German fereheih "oak", Celtic Hercynia silva. The oak is quite a common motif in myths about Perkūnas. Cognates include Sanskrit parkaṭī "fig tree", the Venetian and Celtiberian ethnonyms Quarquēni and Querquerni, the Ligurian Nymphis Percernibus, Old Norse fjörr "tree", Anglo-Saxon furh (Modern English fir), Old Norse fura, Old High German forha (Modern German Föhre) "pine tree", Old Norse fyri, Old High German forh-ist (Modern German Forst) "pine forest", Old High German Fergunna (the Erzgebirge), Anglo-Saxon firgen "wooded height", Gothic fairguni "mountain".
A possibly related word *peru-r/n- for "rock" or "mountain" is reconstructed from Hittite peruna "rock", Sanskrit parvata "mountain" (Parvati, daughter of Himavant), Thracian per(u) "rock".Fittingly, there is a sanctuary to Perun located on a height called Perynь near Novgorod (It is located on the northern shore of Lake Ilmen where Volkhov River starts. Nowadays there is a church and a monastery). In south-western Bulgaria is the Pirin mountain range.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PerkwunosSee more en.wikipedia.org Another name for the thunder god contains an onomatopoeic root *tar-, continued in Gaulish Taranis and Hittite Tarhunt. Germanic *Þunraz (Thor) (Þórr) is from a stem *(s)tene- "thunder".
