Re: [tied] Re: Uni (was: Odin as a Trojan Prince)

It's a great possibility, but there's some other non-Latin Italic register
of her name?
Puhvel guess Juno < *yu:ni:- "young, young heifer" (cf. Latin juvenca
"heifer"), relating it to Greek He:ra: < *ye:ra- "year, one-year heifer".
I still prefer Juni- < *Dyu:nix. But what is the Etruscan development of Old
Latin dy- ?
