{Poor} (penichran). A rare word from pen(8873) (penomai,
to work for one's living). Latin _penuria_ and Greek peina(935c), to
be hungry are kin to it. Here only in the N.T.  Mr 12:42  has
pt(9363)h(885c), a more common word from pt(9373)s(935c), to be frightened, to
strike and hide from fear, to be in beggary. And Luke uses this
adjective also of her in verse  3 .
