Talk:Yoke

[edit]

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

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

Bondage Yoke redirects here[edit]

Bondage Yoke redirects here in error, I am not sure how to update that, anyone assist? Medic48 (talk) 04:16, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

pictures[edit]

the pictures are of oxen in harnesses. You really can't see the yoke clearly. A picture or simple drawing of the actual pieces called the "yoke" would be more helpful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.7.17.3 (talk) 19:49, 27 August 2008 (UTC) Done Fixed. --Una Smith (talk) 22:07, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed material[edit]

I removed the following, which added nothing to the article:

In India the word for yoke is Yoga (Sanskrit योग). It became a more abstract word for discipline and the union between the individual soul and the universal divine soul. This idea was developed in the Bhagavad Gita.
Recitation of the central prayer in Judaism which is called the Sh'ma (or Shema Yisrael) is described in the Talmud as "the acceptance of the yoke of the Kingdom of Heaven" (kabbalat ol malchut shamayim) (Mishnah Berachot 2:5). Here yoke is used as a symbol of submission or subservience.
In Christianity, Jesus says: Come to me all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-30

Placing here in case anyone wants to use it elsewhere (WikiQuote? Yoga?). Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:37, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

'Yoke' meaning 'thing' in Ireland[edit]

In Ireland we use 'yoke' very differently to its uses in this article. Most commonly, it means 'thing' and usually has no connotations other than you can't think/are too lazy to think of the name of the object in question - e.g. 'pass me that yoke, will you?'. It can also refer negatively to a person, 'that fella's an awful yoke altogether'. 89.101.41.216 (talk) 15:10, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Airplanes[edit]

in airplanes a common control device is a "yoke". I was wondering if a reference to that should be put into this article or? ☠ Travis McCrea ^(T)(C) 21:45, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
