Reconstruction:Sanskrit/युट्
Sanskrit

[edit]Etymology
[edit]Of uncertain origin. Possibly borrowed from a local non-Indo-Aryan substrate. This is supported by the fact some descendants have -ḷ- and -l- in place of the retroflex stop, like Marathi जुळणे (juḷṇe), which is common in substrate-origin terms.
Turner posits that all forms of this root may have originated from *युट्ट (yuṭṭa), which was a Middle Indo-Aryan replacement for युक्त (yukta, “yoked, joined”), from युज् (yuj), from Proto-Indo-European *yewg- (“to yoke”); for this, compare the development of त्रुट् (truṭ). In this case, descendant forms with -ḷ- and -l- are from a collision with Prakrit 𑀚𑀼𑀅𑀮 (juala), from युगल (yugala, “pair”).
Regardless, descendants show that this root was influenced by युज् (yuj); compare Marathi जोडा (joḍā, “shoe”), from this root, with Hindi जूता (jūtā, “shoe”), from युज् (yuj).
Attested Sanskrit यौट् (yauṭ) and जुट् (juṭ) are almost certainly Sanskritization of the Prakrit forms.
