Talk:Yoke

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

pictures

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) File:Yes check.svg Done Fixed. --Una Smith (talk) 22:07, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

'Yoke' meaning 'thing' in Ireland

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)

Airplanes

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)
