"Agliophobia" is on that list as "fear of pain," but isn't the root word for pain "algia" vice "aglia?" "Agliophobia" sounds more like an Italian's fear of garlic (and what are the odds of that?)

Fear of garlic, BTW, is given in the list as "Alliumphobia," which to me is a clumsy, cacaphonic contruction. I recommend "alliophobia" as a more euphonic word.
