I find besides that from the verb scindo in the same way was made, not sciderat, but sciciderat. Lucius Accius in the first book of his Sotadici writes sciciderat. These are his words: Fr. i. 2, Müller; 8, Bährens. And had the eagle then, as these declare, His bosom rent (sciciderat)? Ennius too in his Melanippa says: 252, Ribbeck3. When the rock he shall split (sciciderit). * * * * * There is evidently a lacuna here. Valerius Antias in the seventy-fifth book of his Histories wrote these words: Fr. 62, Peter3. Then, having arranged for the funeral, he went down (descendidit) to the Forum. Laberius too in the Catularius wrote thus: 19, Ribbeck3.

As ususcapio is treated as a compound noun in the nominative case, so pignoriscapio is taken together as one word in the same case.
