+ De Vaan reconstructs [[itc-pro|*juþā]] and [[ine-pro|*(H)yudʰ-h₂-|t=that which moves]].^(de Vaan 2008) Walde and Hofmann derived it from the root of [[m|la|iubeō|t=to order]] as “moving to and fro”, and Leumann as “shaking”;^(de Vaan 2008)^(TLL)^(Wiktionary) Ernout and Meillet rejected this, but de Vaan accepts it for the time being, since there is no better etymology.^(de Vaan 2008)^(TLL)^(Wiktionary)
