loomphaliphobia--fear of cutting one's belly button.

I coined that one myself, actually, but it's etymologically correct.

Can you cobble one together out of existing Attic Greek words? For, say, cut, belly button, and fear?

To tell you the truth, I can't answer that, because i have the fear of cobblling together new words out of existing Attic Greek words.

Actually, the contrary is necessarily true. You can't coin a word if Webster agrees, for if he agrees, then the word has already been coined.

Maybe you have to write a letter petitioning Mr. Webster, and if he agrees to your coinage, it's included in his next edition.

If you get an answer from Mr. Webster, call the Inquirer.
