Talk:Yoke

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Whatever it is on the added picture it is not a yoke. mikka (t) 19:17, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

The Webster interestingly does not distinguish between a head harness and the yoke. However, as far as I know what is shown here would be a head harness. A nice picture of a yoke, to be fixed on the neck of two oxen, can be seen here: [1]. According to my webster only the upper bar is called yoke, whereas the two U shaped sticks are "oxbows". My Webster edition (Third New International Dictionary 1993) shows under "oxbow" a drawing very similar to the picture at the link above. A pair of oxen under a yoke can be seen here: [2]. There are different yokes, which are used for one animal only. 31 July 2006
