(AP 12, 209) ?; from it προυνικία H. s. σκίταλοι.Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]Etymology: Popular word, often as nom. agentis derived from προ-ενεῖκαι (Eust. a.o., Nilsson Eranos 45, 169 ff. w. lit.), which both because of the formation (from ipv.?) and because of the hard to understand prefix seems doubtful.
