Yuga (Sanskrit: युग) means “a yoke” (joining of two things), “generations”, or “a period of time” such as an age, where its archaic spelling is yug, with other forms of yugam, yugānāṃ, and yuge, derived from yuj (Sanskrit: युज्, lit. ‘to join or yoke’), believed derived from *yeug- (Proto-Indo-European: lit. ‘to join or unite’).
In the Latin language, juga or jug is used from the word jugum, which means “a yoke used to connect two oxen” (e.g. cali-juga = kali-yuga).
