jim, is anacampserote in the OED? what's the etymology? any relation to anacamptic? is there some kind of narcissus connection, maybe?[/blur]

yes. it comes from Greek roots meaning 'to bend back' + 'love'. anacamptic comes from the same 'to bend back' root, but mainly relates to sound. narcissus is connected in the same way that Pliny is connected to Plutarch.
