"I have a word for which I have never been able to find a definition: "prastuphulic." It's used in the book "Egg Dancing" by Liz Jensen, which was published in 1996 by Overlook Press (according to Amazon.com). I don't have the book with me now so I cannot give you a page reference, but I remember the sentence is something like, "My mother always thought I'd turn into a raggedy, prastuphulic woman, with a severe drinking problem.""

other than guessing from context, I am metagrobolized and bereft of clues.

It looks like Greek, but the closest roots are pras- 'leek' + tuphl- 'blind': make of that what you will.

prastuphulic

If the prophecy turned out correct, then in all probability it must be a synonym for matricidal

I don't know what the penalty for wrong and unscientific guesses here should be, but I guess that this is actually a nonsense word, because neither root nor ending is recognizable.

...sounds as though it should have been -philic" and perhaps a few other typos here and there as well.

One could also decide that this is all just washing a hog in public...
