Poehnání

Poehnání is not a recognized term in standard Czech lexicon, and it does not appear in common dictionaries. There is no established definition or widely attested usage, which suggests that the spelling may reflect a typographical error, a regional neologism, or a term introduced in a specific text or author’s usage.

In form, poehnání resembles a derivative built from the verb hnát (to drive, push) or from the noun pohon (drive, propulsion). However, such a formation is not standard Czech morphology. The common and authoritative forms related to driving or propulsion are pohon (drive mechanism), pohánění (the act of driving or propelling), and hnání (driving forward, pursuit). The prefix po- attached to these stems would not typically yield an established Czech word, which is evidence against poehnání having a stable, general meaning.

If poehnání appears in a text, it is advisable to treat it as a potential misspelling or a context-specific coinage. In formal writing, it is safer to substitute with the standard terms pohon, pohánění, or hnání, depending on the intended sense. When encountered in literature or regional usage, additional context or source notes are needed to determine whether the word carries a unique or authorial meaning.
