[edit] derivation

How certain is the derivation as written in this article? My understanding of the prefix pren- would be 'prone', 'head-first', 'bent forward', 'downhill', 'steep'. So is he a 'head-first horn-face' or 'steep horn-face' or 'prone horn-face' or what? What we currently have is difficult to visualise and 'prone' looks as if it applies to the horn (which it may do but I didn't think so). Does anyone have access to original naming docs? :-) - Ballista 15:37, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
