 </span></blockquote>i also seem to recall having seen this word limologist somewhere<br/>
or perhaps heard it in a bar to distinguish a particularly good sour <br/>
mixologist<br/>
but it isnt in the latest brit or yanko unabridged<br/>
& as pure greek it could only mean a specialist &or student of hunger <br/>
&or famine<br/>
& as a quasipure latin&greek combo it could only mean a specialist &or <br/>
student of mud &or clay<br/>
<br/>
the lim or limo that has evidently been appropriated by some bounders <br/>
to make themselves limologists is really just dog latin &or another <br/>
haplology for 2 boundary related real latin words<br/>
limen liminis a threshhold possibly giving liminologist &<br/>
limes limitis a boundary between fields possibly giving limitologist<br/>
but all 3 of which lim words whether dog or pure bastardized <br/>
grecolatin i do rather like also<br/>
