Sturtevant in HG 144, speaking of relatively transparent nouncompounds in Hittite, goes on to say ‘One may be almost equally sure that tayukas (ta-a-i-ú-ga-aš, da-a-i-ú-ga-aš, ta-a-ú-ga-aš) ‘two years old’ beside yukas (i-ú-ga-aš) ‘one year old’ is a compound whose prior member is akin to tan (ta-a-an, da-a-an) ‘iterum, second’; but our ignorance of the etymology of the second member makes its classification impossible'. This article is an attempt to explain the word yukas ‘yearling’
