It remains to be proved that <koza> and <azIno> are in fact related and
not merely similar. The long vowel in <azIno> is consistent with
Winter's pre-media learning (and so with the reconstruction *h2ag^ino- =
adjective of material from *h2ag^os, cf. Skt. aja-, ajina-), while the
short *o of <koza> suggests *g^H (or a non-inherited word).
