As far as I know
correspondences *always* involve different languages.

There's nothing particularly "dialectal" about *jew(h1)o- .

Do you have a western language reflex ?

The 'oats' word was something rather complex like *h2awig^-i/s-) and any
connection with *jewo-, let alone the rest of the list, is unlikely.

Utterly stupid
I am precisely explaining to you
that this is an example of inherited *z
which results
in *H2 in western PIE
and *y in eastern PIE.
