Etymology

edit

    Denominal verb of 𑀚𑀼𑀢𑁆𑀢 (jutta, joined, yoked), from युक्त (yuktá, yoked), from the root युज् (yuj, to yoke, join). Per Tedesco, the denominal verb is modelled analogically on pairs like 𑀙𑀼𑀝𑁆𑀝 (chuṭṭa, released) ~ 𑀙𑁄𑀟𑁂𑀇 (choḍei, to release), 𑀢𑀼𑀝𑁆𑀝 (tuṭṭa, torn) ~ 𑀢𑁄𑀟𑁂𑀇 (toḍei, to tear); see there for more.[1]

    Turner reconstructs Sanskrit *योटयति (yoṭayati) as the ancestor of this verb, but there is no evidence for the existence of this root before Middle Indo-Aryan.

    Attested Sanskrit यौट् (yauṭ) and जुट् (juṭ) are almost certainly Sanskritizations.
