Sc. 437, hell.), [[πρεών]] (AP), <b class="b3">-ῶνος</b>, <b class="b3">-όνος</b>.<br />Origin: XX [etym. unknown]<br />Etymology: If one starts from the later attested [[πρηών]] (to which [[πρεών]], [[πρών]]), the plur. [[πρώονες]], <b class="b3">-ας</b> must be explained as a metr. conditioned false interpretation of [[πρῶνες]] (Schwyzer 487 n. 3 with LSJ); so basis <b class="b3">*πρηϜών</b> or <b class="b3">*πραϜών</b> (Schwyzer 377). If we assume <b class="b3">*πρώϜων</b>, [[πρώ]][F][[ονες]] becomes regular, but then must [[πρηών]] either be false analysis or old ablaut of [[πρών]]. For <b class="b3">*πρώϜων</b> tells undoubtedly the hardly separable <b class="b3">πρῳ̃ρα</b> (Bechtel Lex., Risch $ 26 b, Specht Ursprung 344). -- To the group of [[πρό]]; connection with Skt. <b class="b2">pū́rva-</b> [[frontmost]], [[earlier]] seems possible; s. <b class="b3">πρῳ̃ρα</b>. Not with Bechtel to [[πρηνής]] (s.v.), not with Prellwitz to Skt. <b class="b2">pravaṇá-</b>'falling off, prepares, sloping' (s. Mayrhofer s.v.). -- Furnée 331 asks whether <b class="b3">προύνος βουνούς</b> is a variant, or a contamination of <b class="b3">πρών βουνός</b>.
