But Greek ατελης (atele:s) seems to be derived from τελος (telos), there being no *τελης (tele:s). The meaning of atele:s is more incomplete or unfinished than blemished. One meaning of telos is tax, so a meaning of atele:s is 'free or exempt from tax, tribute, or tithe'. So, this pretend word atelophobe could just as likely mean 'fear of being taxfree'.


Ceci n'est pas un seing.
