Does anyone have an etymology for Iove(that's Iove as in Jupiter not Love :-)) i looked through the archive on Richard Wordinghams site but found nothing so I thought I would ask here. I have just seen it posted on a forum that Iove was pronounced  "Yoh-way"in Latin(which of course I am not sure of either).....this all lead to a possible comparison to Yaweh.
 
Not that I am buying any of this wholesale but since I don't really have an etymology for Iove it is kinda hard to say if it is a folk etymology or what.
 
thanks
Ken
