A development *-VslV- > *-VzVlV- > Lat. -VrulV-, however, is at least extant in another word with ‘rustic’ flavor, namely #Latin corulus ‘hazel’ < *koslo-, a cognate of #ProtoCeltic *koslos (#OldIrish, #MiddleWelsh coll) & #ProtoGermanis *haslaz (#English hazel, #OldNorse hasl)
…#Occitan #Limousin bec ‘wasp’, #Creuse beko ‘bee’, but is not as easily reconcilable with PIE *bʰei̯-. In #MiddleWelsh, *bʰe/iko- might live on as the 1st element of the word for ‘drone’, attested as both beg-egyr (*bʰeko-?) and byg-egyr (*bʰiko-?), which does not help much.

In Celtic, *kabro- was remodeled to *gabro- (OIr. gabor, #Irish gabhar, #MiddleWelsh gabr, gafyr, #Welsh gafr, #OldCornish gauar, #OldBreton gabr, #Breton gavr, #Gaulish PN Gabro-magus) perhaps in analogy to an unattested *gai̯d(o)- ‘goat’ (> E. goat, L. haedus)?

An already PIE compound *gʷou̯-kʷolh₁os ‘cow-herd’ (>*gʷou̯-kolh₁os by #dissimilation) is implied by #Mycenaean qo-u-ko-ro, #Greek βουκόλος, and the i-stem #OldIrish búachaill, #MiddleWelsh bugeil, #Cornish, #Breton bugel.

COW in #IndoEuropean: #Vedic gáuṣ, #Avestan gāuš, #Greek βοῦς (boûs), #Latin bōs, #Umbrian acc. bum, #OldIrish bó, #MiddleWelsh bu, #ProtoGermanic *kūz (#OldNorse kýr, #OldEnglish cū, #German Kuh), #Latvian gùovs, #Tocharian A ko, B keu, #Luwian wawa/i-, #Armenian kov.

… #MiddleWelsh elein ‘doe, hind’, #OldIrish elit ‘doe, hind’, #Gaulish Elantia (PN), #Armenian eɫn ‘hind’, #Tocharian A yäl, B yal ‘gazelle’.
These words are usually seen as derivatives of *h₁el- ‘brown’ (cf. OHG elo ‘brownish’), so yet another color-motivated zoonym.

The Welsh counterpart of the adjective MIr. erc is #MiddleWelsh erch ‘mottled, speckled, dappled, dun’ and, as a substantive, erch ‘a horse of that color’.

On the other hand, support for *k̑arm- comes from another language: in #MiddleWelsh the word for 'ermine, stoat' is the enigmatic carlwnc (later carlwm). The @GPCdictionary tentatively suggests a compound of cardd or carf + llwnc but neither cardd ('shame; slave') nor ...

...aquilus 'dark'). The attested words for 'otter' in #Irish are dobrán (lit. 'waterling'; same semantic motivation as above) and doburchú ('water dog'). #Welsh uses a matching compound as the word for 'otter', viz. dyfrgi, dwrgi (#MiddleWelsh deuerky).
