I was wondering if one could nail two Pokorny entries with one
root
*y-n,W-, namely:
2. yeu-, yew&-, yeu-g- "verbinden";
yu(:)-ti- "Verbindung" ,
yeugos- n. "Gespann",
yeug-ter-
"Anschirrer" ,
-yug- "geschirrt, Gefährte";
yugo-m n. "Joch",
yug-men- "Paarung, Joch",
yug-ti-s "Anschirren" ,
yug-tό- "angespannt" ;
and
3. yeu- "jung",
Positiv yuwen- (: yu:n-),
Kompar. yew-yos.
by interpreting the
latter as "subordinate" ("junior") instead; cf.
subjugate.
If so,
we'll have a nice etymology for Inguaeo:nes.
