Yoke(yohk)

Quick Detail: A device that binds two things together.

Definition: A yoke joins two bodies—most often animals—so they move in shared effort. The connection can symbolize unity or burden depending on its weight and purpose. The word carries a quiet heaviness, reminding us how bonds can guide or restrict. Yokes require balance, with each side supporting the other’s strength. It reflects the dual nature of being tied to something or someone.
