I'm just curious, how is it that "fallophobia" came to be spelled with an F, given that there is no F in the Greek alphabet? Was there a Latin influence, or was it originally spelled with a Ψ? I guess it could have been ψάλλοφοβια. I can't find the word in my Greek lexicon, but I'll trust you, Sister Morgan.Daniel Jared Sorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17446617496369057349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660764619120593708.post-73010921034964211502007-07-24T04:28:00.000-07:002007-07-24T04:28:00.000-07:00What is this 3rd person stuff?

You see "fall" meaning "fall down in the grass," which in Greek mean "scared sissy-pants," then, you add "o" for "Oh," which in Greek mean "Oh, you silly." Then, phobia, which come from Greek word for Indiana, and there you have it: S.Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11006369937884305697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660764619120593708.post-67123117849127106562007-07-23T07:31:00.000-07:002007-07-23T07:31:00.000-07:00Sis.
