a) -yo yes, <<X-yo>> has the the meaning 'having X'

Example:

1. PIE *kWrs-yo 'having Black (Color)' > Dacian Crisia (Jordanes) >
[si > s^] Romanian CriS /kris^/ (< Dacian: *c^wara 'black')


2. PIE *ak^-mo:n-yo/eh2 'having stone' > Dacian Akmo:nya(:) 'The
Stony Place/City' (< Dacian *akmo:n 'stone')


b) but <<Noun>>-tyo (probabbly originary PIE *to+*yo) has the
meaning 'made-by/consisting-of'-X : for this reason appears in may
formation for instruments

Example:

1. PIE *(s)k(o)rh1-p-eh2-tyeh2 > Karpa:tya: 'consisting-by/made-by
rock' (< Dacain *karpa: 'rock')

2. PIE *h2ek^-mo:n-tyeh2 > PAlb/Dacian akmo:ntya: (< Dacian
akmo:n 'stone')
