<DIV>It seems to me that the real source of <STRONG>hacH</STRONG> is PIE
*<STRONG>pax-ske</STRONG>- 'feed, nourish, lead (livestock) to graze' (Latin
<STRONG>pa:scere</STRONG>, OCS <STRONG>pasti</STRONG>, related to Hittite
<STRONG>pahs</STRONG>-, TochB <STRONG>pa:sk</STRONG>- 'guard'). Something like
*<STRONG>paxsko</STRONG>- would yield Armenian <STRONG>hacH</STRONG> without the
slightest difficulty. Polish <STRONG>pasza</STRONG> 'fodder' is from the same
root, and so is perhaps Latin <STRONG>pa:nis </STRONG>'bread' (if it represents
older *<STRONG>pa:s(k)nis</STRONG>).<</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Am I right to suppose ancient an modern GR <STRONG>boskO</STRONG>, 'to lead
to graze', modern Greek <STRONG>boskos </STRONG>'shepherd' is cognate to
these?</DIV>
