all these odd -phobias are nothing short of a joke to serious lexicographers. people have come to believe there must be a -phobia for almost everything
Mrs. Byrne lists acarophobia, acoustico~, aeluro~, agora~, agyio~, aichmo~, algo~, amatho~, amaxo~fear of being withut Max?, ambulo~, anthropo~, anupta~, atychi~, automyso~, and auto~ -- and that's just the A's. The book as a whole has well over a hundred.
Grandiloquent Dictionary has 57 in the A's alone. notably including amomaxiaphobia - A fear of making love in an automobile
