Re: Fr/lat/ru tu-vous/tu-vos/ - : etymology ?

Now let me go back to the linguistic equation of
eye and yes. This connection is obvious for
French and English. In France we have the
langue d'oc and the langue d'oil. Oc means yes,
and oil, better known as oui, means yes. These
words are linked with eye words. Oc is found
as root of Latin occulus. The same root is present
in the (in a) Sanskrit word for eye. And of course
in Italian occhio. The second form oil that became
oui is close to oeuil for eye.

You mean "oeil". And irrelevant, because "oeil" comes from "oculus", so even if "oc" and "ay" were real, "oeil" would go with "oc" and not "ay", which just shows that even within your mythological system you've got your etymology wrong.

In English we have
eye and aye. Old forms of yes are close to the
plural eyes.

Oh, and English "eye" goes back to Old English "éage", and corresponds to German "Auge", etc. So once again this dichotomy of yours, which would call for "eye" and "Auge" to descend from two separate words, is illustory.
