It's ANHR/ANDROS (although there are very old--Homeric forms of the root,
not the noun, with ANWR/ANOR); it does essentially follow the pattern of
PATHR and MATHR with the one significant difference that a "prop" consonant
-D- developed phonetically between N and R replacing the older stem ANER-.
The paradigm is:

	Nom. sg. ANHR	pl. ANDRES
	Gen. sg. ANDROS pl. ANDRWN
	Dat. sg. ANDRI  pl. ANDRASI
	Acc. sg. ANDRA	pl. ANDRAS
