mollusque commented on the word autocine

sionnach commented on the word autocine
Sorry, mollusque, but in the citation, it is clearly a typo for autocrine.
Which is still panvocalic, of course.

Thanks, sionnach. I should have realized that, especially since I listed and defined autocrine about two months ago. "Autocine" has more than 100 instances in Google Scholar, which makes the typo rather more common than some of the genuine panvocalics I've been finding.
Since "autocine" means drive-in movie theater in Spanish (which is how I first discovered it), I've transferred it to Panvocalic polyglot.
