Proto-Indo-European[edit]

Root[edit]

*peh₂-[1][2][3]

  1. to protect, to ward
  2. to shepherd

Usage notes[edit]

Semantic shift from "protector" towards "shepherd, herder" can be seen in many branches, signifying the importance of herding. Unusual is the o-grade root in Greek ποιμήν (poimḗn, “shepherd, herdsman”), where the abstract nomina agentis suffix *-mn̥ usually binds e-grade, but that hardly seems sufficient to reconstruct *h₃ in the root and to separate it from *peh₂-.
