BUT The Ossetic word considered as the source of the Hungarian one
is /avg/ < */apaka:/

So there is no word *uvink/*ovink...
From where you reconstruct it, as a 'bottle (glass)'?

I agree that could be an issue this one, but not so big as a- > ü-.

Maybe my supposed (added) -w- is not correct above.
If the original form was u-ya-(g&) we need to count for the output
of a Hungarian sequence *u-y'a- or *u-y'e (a>e being regular at least
in Hungarian loans).
*u-y'a- or *u-y'e 'is not quite the same' with uj
