Any clues for the P10 - 91?

12:06 pm

Gail

The root word for the P10/91: An external application of a consistency harder than ointment, prepared for use by spreading it on linen, leather, silk, or other material. It is adhesive at the ordinary temperature of the body, and is used, according to its composition, to produce a medicinal effect, to bind parts together, etc

12:30 pm

Judi

Gail, I have the root for P10, as well as the related P8 & P9. The remainder of the P10 is still eluding me, tho.

12:48 pm

It's a past tense and an alternate spelling of the P9/72. Has one more vowel in it.
