Thanks, folks for the suggestions. I coined a
neologism, which I think is accurate and all Greek, namely Synorologist.
Synoro is a boundary, pillar, border. Problem is that the word is not
ancient Greek. Sounds great though, don't you think?
well i am glad you did beat me to it
grant
for it is good to hear from you
& of course us punctologists
dont mind mixing latin & greek
& really must do so here since pure
greek would give urologist or at
best ourologist
other latin roots
could give liminologist & terminologist
but in all cases the words
dont mean quite what we want them to
so it is hard to
choose
