Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

Hmm, oughtn't it to be hippopotomomonstrosesquipedaliphobia? And then some peevologists might complain that it mixes Latin and Hellenic, a must-never-do-ism. I guess you could replace monstro with terato, but I am at a loss on what to do with sesquipedali. Hmm. Just one minute. ICLIU (link ημιολιασμος (hēmioliasmos) is the same as Latin sesqui 'one and a half'. And, I guess, podali for the foot part. (Latin sesquipedalis means 'foot and a half (long)' but doesn't really work without words. So, verbo or lexico needs to go in there. So, how about hippopotomoteratohemioliasmopodalilexicophobia? Or in English fear of river-horse-monster-foot-and-a-half-(long)-words.


Ceci n'est pas un seing.
