Lat. Ia:nus & Lat. ia:nua from the PIE *ieh2- a derivation of the
PIE *ei 'to go' could also indicates Ia:nus as a "An Agent that
controles/allows the movements/the passages"

...and as the general Master of any movement/any passage (remember
that Ia:nus is described by the Romans: by having two faces: to
have a full control of any passage in all the directions), he
quickly becomes that particular Master that controlles the movements
of the Moon, the movements of the Sun but also the general
movement/passage of the Time too...

So Ia:nus is not the Moon or the Sun but is that one that have
been put the Sun and the Moon in motion and controlled their regular
passages: in fact Ia:nus is quite the Beginning, the Generator of
the Initial Impulse (for 'the moderns' would be the Generator of the
Big Bang :) )

In these conditions, his derivation from the PIE *ieh2- < PIE
*ei 'to go' is obvious.
