Proto-novel The novel is usually considered a modern genre of literature, its history beginning in the 17th century. However, there are several ancient and medieval texts that fully qualify as novels in the sense of "extended fictional narrative in prose".
Proto-Norse Proto-Norse (also Primitive Norse, Proto-Nordic, Ancient Nordic, Old Scandinavian and Proto-North Germanic) was an Indo-European language spoken in Scandinavia that is thought to have evolved from Proto-Germanic over the first centuries AD. It is the earliest stage of a characteristically North Germanic language, and the language of the oldest Scandinavian Elder Futhark inscriptions, spoken ca.
Proto-Pama-Nyungan language The Proto-Pama-Nyungan language (abbreviated pPN) is the putative ancestor of all the languages of the Pama-Nyungan family, encompassing almost all the Australian Aboriginal languages, except for some non-Pama-Nyungan languages spoken in the north and the Tasmanian languages. Like all protolanguages it is not directly attested (e.
Proto-Romanian language Proto-Romanian (also known as Common Romanian, româna comună) is a hypothetical language considered to have been spoken by the ancestors of today's Romanians and related Balkan Latin peoples (Vlachs), between the 7th and the 9th century.
Proto-Three Kingdoms of Korea Proto-Three Kingdoms of Korea refers to the period after the fall of Gojoseon and before the maturation of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla into full-fledged kingdoms. It is a subdivision of what is traditionally called Korea's Three Kingdoms Period.
Proto-World language The term Proto-World language refers to the hypothetical, most recent common ancestor of all the world's languages – an ancient proto-language from which are derived all modern languages, all language families, and all dead languages known from the past 6,000 years of recorded history. Though various attempts have been made to reconstruct Proto-World, the overwhelming consensus among historical linguists is that the methods used (such as mass lexical comparison) are suspect and that if Proto-World ever existed, it was spoken so long ago that it would be impossible to reconstruct.
Protoavis Protoavis texensis ("First bird from Texas") is the name given to archosaurian fossil bones from the Late Triassic found near Post, Texas. These were described as a primitive bird which if valid would push back avian origins some 60-75 million years.

In contrast to the more controversial status of the deuterocanonical books, these 39 books of the Old Testament have always been considered sacred by almost all Christians throughout history.

Protoclepsydrops Protoclepsydrops was an early amniote, and its skeletal remains indicates that it was related to synapsids than to sauropsids, making it a synapsid member. It is the oldest synapsid, though still unconfirmed because its remains were fragmentary.
Protocol (computing) In computing, a protocol is a convention or standard that controls or enables the connection, communication, and data transfer between two computing endpoints. In its simplest form, a protocol can be defined as the rules governing the syntax, semantics, and synchronization of communication.

Protocooperation Protocooperation is where two species interact with each other beneficially; they have no need to interact with each other they interact purely for the gain that they receive from doing this. It is not at all necessary for protocooperation to occur; growth and survival is possible in the absence of the interaction.
