the "z" was retained here (though lost in "yoke" itself).Actual, it was added here. It never was in yoke. It's the zero-grade form of yeug-. http://www.bartleby.com/61/roots/IE600.htmlThat would imply "yoke" and "yolk" are connected. You might infer that but you'd be wrong. Yoke is related to yellowhttp://www.bartleby.com/61/roots/IE158.html

Ah. So I was right about zygote being connected to syzygy(as per the "union" meaning), but a zygote isn't an egg. Or rather an egg isn't necessarily a zygote. And a yolk is just a yolk.

You must remember, bloke,
A yoke is just a yoke,
A zyg is just a zyg.
The fundamental roots imply,
That they're not tied.
