Sn 417 should read Sn 447, and 'vindemaa' should be 'vindema'.

The whole verse is:

447. Medava.n.na.m va paasaa.na.m vaayaso anupariyagaa:
         ap'ettha mudu vindema, api assaadanaa siyaa. --PTS ed. p.77

K.R. Norman's translation:
447. A bird circled a stone which looked like fat, (thinking)
"Perhaps we shall find something soft here, perhaps there may be
(something) sweet." --The Group of Discourses II, p,47

I think 'perhaps' is similar to 'possibly'.
