<div id="ygrps-yiv-1041209153">well that is fine but even in fractured french limologie is still a <br/>
dog latin haplology for what would have had to produce either <br/>
limitologie or liminologie in properly bastardized grecolatin french<br/>
<br/>
this is because there never was nor is nor can there ever be any <br/>
properly latin combining form in lim or limo alone<br/>
<br/>
lim needs the additional syllable found in either limin or limit to <br/>
mean anything at all having to do with boundaries<br/>
<br/>
but it is just a question of how mongrelly & barbarian is too much<br/>
<br/>
trust me<br/>

&gt; I am sure that a guy named Yaives Ferland told me about someone in <br/>
Quebec<br/>
&gt; who was a border specialist and used a term like &quot;limologie&quot; to <br/>
describe<br/>
&gt; the topic...<br/>

&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; I think that is used for people who study boundaries...<br/>

&gt; &gt; &gt; i also seem to recall having seen this word limologist somewhere<br/>
&gt; &gt; <br/>
&gt; &gt; Are you guys thinking of limnologist? From Greek limne, a lake -<br/>
&gt; &gt; someone who studies sedimentary processes etc in standing water.<br/>
