IN REPLY TO JENS RASMUSSEN'S *tuH/*yus PROPOSED CONNECTIONS:
   In the case of Eng. 'you', I think you're digging too deep, even
   though your statement is correct.  But the 'y' is almost certainly
   derived from a 'g', just like in Dutch: modern 'jij' (acc. 'jou')
   (j=y) for 2 p. sg. stems from 'gij',

First, someone says *tu is connected to *yus by some very
unobservable sound rule and now this?? Look, Indo-European *y- = Old
English y-. It's very well known and accepted that IE *yus begets the
English "you", "ye", etc. as well as Dutch "jij/gij". The reason why
we say it's *y- is because of languages like Sanskrit. Look it up.
