Polygamy is the gender neutral term; the thing that polyandry is the distaff equivalent of is polygyny.

The confusing thing is, for a woman to really reap the benefits of polyandry, wouldn't she have to exhibit polygyny herself?

Many thanks for your kind welcome. It's good to know I can seek refuge here whenever I find myself in an etymological dilemma. :)

I wouldn't dream of stealing her away, my dear Carpathian. Fact is, it's a lot more likely that you all will steal me away from that other list.

Regards,

Good Qod, I hope I haven't scared her off! And what do you mean, C. that you can't assure me you'll be around?

Egad,

scared her off!

Don't worry, Ms. L. Our Bridget posts somewhat erratically. Her last post was April 12. She'll be back. And don't worry about Carpathian, he is but the latest incarnation of a perennial weed that pops up from time to time. We've found it best to ignore him.

I only put that because of majestatis; I had to think back to singing Mozart's Requiem, and what followed--er, preceded, that's right-- that word.
