aprugnus

• aprūnus
• aprūgineus
• aprīnus
• aprīneus

Uncertain; from aper + an unclear suffix, Linder (2002) compares its ending with that of caprigenus.^[1] See however aprūgineus, which points to *aprūginus. The form aprūnus is also found in the place of aprūgnus place in some editions, it might either stem from a simplification of the gn or stand for an ablaut variant of aprīnus.
