What's faux about the relationship? A goodly number of IsIsIs' words are assumed to be related to one another. That's what the roots in the PIE roots appendix in the A-H dictionary are. (Of course, anybody is free not to believe in them or ignore them, or to come up with an alternate answer to why these words in English, and a whole slew of other languages have systematic correspondences of form and meaning.) But, if s/he means that somehow the sounds /w/ and /r/ have something to do with twisting and turning, then we part company. The other words in the list that are not related to the *wer- root(s) prove that.
