Syriac

pḳd - to appoint over; to order, to command; to care for; to enumerate, to examine; to visit (LSyr. 588, SL 122)

Meanings ‘to care for’ and ‘to visit’ are probably dependent on that of pḳd in the Hebrew original of the Old Testament (EDA I 179)

*pḳd - to be attentive, interested in somebody or something (EDA I 180)
