It ends in o/e- (pl.obl. -oy), of course:

NAV *yug-ó-m
G *yug-ó-syo (~ -syó)
D *yug-ó-ei
L *yug-ó-i
I *yug-ó-(e)h1
Ab *yug-ó-od

NAV *yug-é-h2
G *yug-óy-m > *yug-õ-m
DAb *yug-óy-bhyos
L *yug-óy-su
I *yug-óy-s

And it's *-o: (bhéro:) and *-ó: (*tudó:), independent of
accent.

You have done no such thing.

In any case the locative ending is also totally independent
of accent: *yugói and *dhwóroi.
