Notes
Morphological Note:
The suffix -an profiles the locus associated with the action expressed by poron: literally, the place where winding or coiling is done.
The definition should therefore not normally be reduced to spool. A spool may physically be involved in winding, but poronan primarily profiles the locale/site of the activity.
