I suspect he was mostly a compiler. Some of the -archys stem directly from -archs; e.g., exarch.. ecclesiarch.. patriarch... Paparchy and oligarchy have W3 entries. I think hagiarchy is debatable, as I find hagiocracy in W3, but AHD has both; gynarchy and gynocracy are also both well documented. kritarchy is an old word: Samson, Jephthah, Gideon, and other heroes of the kritarchy. --Southey; thus, the rule of the judges over Israel.
