regardless of one or of an another scenario, the phonetic similarity and
the appropiate meaning should make these words to be very appropiate.
Actually, the schöffe, saupen, jupân, ^zupan, cioban, they look much to
appropiate in appearance and in the meaning for not beeing related to
each other somehow..
