A053789 Smallest prime divisor of sum of first k primes for nonprime k (?)

Something wrong is here:

if 1,4,6,8 are first four nonprime k's,
then sums are 2, 17, 41, 77 
and spd's are 2,7,41,7
not 2,2,2,7,
right?

i guess that not k but sum'd be nonprime;
if so then first nonprime sums are
10, 28, 58, 77
with correct spd's 
2,2,2,7,
right?

if so i suggest corrected %N as this:

%N A053789 Smallest prime divisor of sum s of first k
primes for nonprime s.

******** as in OEIS at present *************
%S A053789
2,2,2,7,2,3,2,2,2,3,2,3,2,3,2,7,2,3,2,3,2,3,2,3,2,3,2,3,2,3,2,41,2,3,

%N A053789 Smallest prime divisor of sum  of first k
primes for nonprime k.

What was meant is a definition: "Smallest prime divisor of n-th composite 
partial sum of primes"
or easier:
A053789(n)= A020639(A053790(n))

Maple hack which prints A053789 thus defined follows
RJM
----------------------------------------------------

A007504 := proc(n) option remember ;
end:
isA007504 := proc(n)
end:
isA053790 := proc(n)
end:
A053790 := proc(n) option remember ;
end:
A020639 := proc(n)
end:
A053789 := proc(n)
end:

for n from 1 to 50 do

If we read the Catalan numbers A000108 modulo 4, we apparently get
which seems to be the content of Theorem 2.3 of
Eu-Liu-Yeh's
<a href="http://www.math.sinica.edu.tw/mathuser/file_upload/mayeh/MotzkinMod_f.pdf">Catalan and Motzkin numbers modulo 4 and 8</a> .

Could s.o. with a higher mathematical background confirm this and perhaps
yet to appear in the OEIS.

A001006 := proc(n)
end:

# Motzkin's modulo 8
a := proc(n)
