Dear Stephen.

Your assertive and presumptuous statement that the there is no such sanskrit word as "yoJana". My attempt was to differentiate the J sound from the G sound, as you may visualize from the devnagari alphabet.
My presenting of the sanskrit cognate yojana with a capital J was not attempt to show it from transcription point of view.
I have already posted the long definitions of 'YOJNA"
Yogna however is also a sanskrit word.

Hope that clarifies the matter

What is this "yoJana" ? In the style of transcription which uses a capital
J, the J stands for ~n (n tilde). But there is no such Sanskrit word. Do
you mean YuJjAna ? But in any case, you are mistaken: jhaana/dhyaana is not
and cannot be cognate with any derivatives from the YUJ root.

Best wishes,
Stephen Hodge
