> I have no ideea what has "hairy" to look for here, but "iuba" like gothic form of the word or slavic or other forms are related to "love".

Accidentally similar, NOT related.

(i) <iuba> means 'mane, crest', NOT 'love';
(ii) <iubar> means 'beaming light, bright celestial body', NOT 'love';
(iii) PIE *l(e)ubH- 'to like' > Lat. lub- (~ lib-), as in <lubet/libet>.
