That's a bit weak from old Antoine. Is there any trace of
sy- in Latin at all?

As Meillet says, the root is <s(y)u:->, with long <u:>. The
only source of <u:> is <uH>. It must be specifically *h1
because the verb is in the Balto-Slavic barytone accent
paradigm while from oxytone *sjuh1-jé-. The retraction of
the accent was caused by Hirt's law, and I believe Hirt's
law did not affect sequences of resonant + *h2/3 (cf. Slavic
bylá < *bhuh2-láh2, pilá < *pih3-láh2).
