The form premunition is a cross reference to the following entry:

premunicion (c.1360-79)

premunicioun,  premuniçoun;  premunition  
  FEW:  praemunitio 9,299b Gdf:  premunition 6,382c GdfC: TL: DEAF:  premunir (*)  DMF: TLF: OED:  premunition n.  MED:  premunicion n.  DMLBS:  praemunitio 2413b

The DMF lists only prémonition, which, despite its overlapping sense (and semantic confusion already present in Classical Latin, cf. DMLBS praemonere 2412b and praemunire 2413a) derives from a different etymon.
