Proto-Indo-European

    Root

    *peh₂-

    1. to protect, to ward
    2. to shepherd

    Usage notes

    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-.
