By the way Patrick : Proto-Bushman 'you' is uH

Proto-Bushman : *uH

Meaning : you

Proto-Taa : *ûh

Proto-!Wi : *u

#Hoan : *u

All I can say: "strange enough" :

a) /you/ and /uH/ 'sound similar', isn't it and they have an
identical meaning

b) Also now based on this /uH/ we also can decomposed PIE *tuH in PIE
*t-uH and in the same time

c) we can unified the PIE origin of /you/ & /tu/ based on *uH

P.S. And trust me that I didn't drink anything in the last days
(maybe is the time :))

This does not surprise me as much as you might think.

In one of the earliest essays on my website, I suggested that 'speaker' and 'listener' were the base meanings of one set of ancient monosyllables: *ye- (from *¿e-), 'speak(er)'; and *we (from *fo), 'hear(er)'.
