Unknown; possibly Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "pregrc" is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF.. Perhaps related to πήγνυμι (pḗgnumi), which however may be derived from Proto-Indo-European *peh₂ǵ-.
