This was likely yadh because we can see in Clauson the word yadhIl
instead of yayIl. What is even
more likely is that it was *dhadhIl. We know that because the names of
the rivers in Russia, Volga-Don (?)
is Itil-YayIk in Turko-Tatar. The word YayIk shows up as Daichs/Daix in
ancient Greek records (see article
by Sinor and others). This is the so-called D-Bolgaric e.g. dilom
(snake) vs yIlan (Turkish),
cIlan (KBal), ilan (Azeri). Since one of the sound changes is dh>r (see
my post over the last n years)
this gives us Ra- and the name Rha is exactly what shows up in old
records. It is still called Rau in
Finnish. Obviously people who lived in this region should have had names
like *Dhadhak, or
*dhadhang, etc. and that is also exactly what we find in Herodotus, e.g.
Dadacae and Dadicae.

e.g. direction, side, etc.

it showed up earlier as yOn (high-rounded). These high-rounded versions
are late developments
after mixing with some language like an ancestor of Mongolian.

gathering, collection, etc.

This word also shows up in Kbal as nigish. The -vn=-vsh also occurs in
Turkic.

Depending on what they want linguists make words Chinese, Ket, Korean,
etc and this
is one of those.

This is a famous word. It shows up in Hittite as laluki e.g. yaruk, and
is from the root given
earlier e.g. yan/yak. This also shows up in Hittite e.g. lak=set fire,
(along with words like
luk=knock down, Turkish yIk=knock down, Sumerian lil=wind, Turkic
yel/yil=wind etc).
It shows up in words like star, lightning, flash, etc There are dozens
more. It is complicated.

It looks like there is a possibility of ny>n and ny>y (e.g.
palatalization) and there is also
the possibility of dy>d, dy>y, etc. Then there is the almost
unbelievable possibility of
*nd-. In the beginning there was the WORD and nobody could pronounce it :-)
