Quick q what does "yield" mean here?

Also, in which currency are these returns? Because forex shifts (which for sure happened on oct10) mess up the observed returns quite a bit

It's what E-Trade lists for dividend yield or SEC yield. I have no idea if it's before or after exchange to USD. The total return is from totalrealreturns.com, it accounts for USD inflation and includes yield (at least I think), but probably didn't include the Oct 10 drop itself.
