Or, more precisely, "I will lead you to the law because of it", {tWe
2ego:mi ad yewos to:i}? (likeliest not *{yewosm}, as its descendant
"ju:s" is neuter in Latin.)

Greek has "aiwei" and poetic "esaiwen".

I agree.

{usmo:s}? And is there a word for "shepherd"?; the French original
had "vos bergers" here. I can tell that "vous" is genuine plural here,
as the wolf calls the lamb "tu" elsewhere.

I asked on another group for IE words for "law", and I was told of
{dheti} for decrees and {yewos} for what happens in law courts.
