Of Sex and Fear

Authors

Merlin X. Houdini IV

Abstract

Some logologists are word collectors at heart. Over the years, the attention of these collectors has been drawn to three very special groups of words: those ending with the suffixes -MANCY (designating a form of divination), -MANIA (describing some kind of madness, passion, or craze), and -PHOBIA, (referring to types of fear or aversion).
