Thanks to Jackie, WWH & Jackie.
Was still a bit confused on the "arcturus" thing so took a squiz at Chambers....
They say that the word came from the greek for bear - Arktos.
Call me a hair splitter (been around you guys too long), but there4 doesn't arctophile simply translate as a lover of bears - ALL bears???
Wouldn't a Teddy Bear lover more correctly be referred to as a "Theodophinous arctophile"?
