ww - as stated by another poster - you must add "The Fremantle Doctor" to your list - it's a strong sea breeze we get in Perth in summer. It's blowing outside as I type.
("The Doctor" is a fast moving (say 25 knot), hot wind. Without it, Perth in summer would be like living in an oven. With it, Perth in summer is like living in a fan forced oven!!)

"Igoring" is behaviour not in my lexicon, nor in WNW. And your wind is not as musical as Stravinsky's.
Your princely "igoring" is "borodining".

igoring - 1) the practice of robbing graves for the purpose of frankensteinification 2) the composition of ghastful music

"Biting the dust" used to be the classic cliché for demise of Indian at hand of dead-shot Cowboy. However the Indian maidens never bit the dust,nor were they round-heeled.They stuffed the jade gate with the dust.

Thanks, tsuwm, for a more useful *olological listing.
Anemology at least covers the windy studies, but, off the top of my head, I can't imagine why bryology is the study of Moses...

Dear Whirlwind: You have to be kidding about bryology being study of Moses. He was original rolling stone who gathered no mosses, but did not get to be botany eponym.
