end of a vinebranch, Thphr. HP 2.1.3 (cj. in CP 3.14.7). (Written πρώρρα in Plb. 8.6.1, al., but πρωιρ- in PSI 4.382.2 (iii B.C.), cf. πρῳρατικός; κυανοπρωΐρους [ ⏑⏑_ _ _ _] is cited by EM 692.32 from Hom., and κυανοπρώϊραν from Simon. 241: hence πρῷρα is prob. contr. from a word of the form _ _⏑, but whether from *πρώειρα, as inferred by Hdn.
