[B-Greek] lemma of PROIENAI

How do I find the lemma of PROIENAI?

I'm interest only in seeing how it differs from EKPOREUSQAI in meaning.

This word appears under 'the filioque controversy' at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicene_creed#English_translations.

I am copying the relevant text:

... has recently argued that while these words "and the Son
(Filioque)" would indeed be heretical if associated with the Greek
verb ἐκπορεύεσθαι of the text adopted by the Council of
Constantinople, they are not heretical when associated with the Latin
verb procedere, which corresponds instead to the Greek verb προιέναι,
with which some of the Greek Fathers also associated the same words.

Thanks for your help.

Oun Kwon.
