Are we allowed real nouns like the names of people or places?

I don't think chelminth is a word at all.

terebinth (thank you, Google)

Yes, it is molecular phylogeny, that is what I am googling up, but most articles are on JSTOR.

I got into JSTOR eventually.

Those are all Google errors from mis-hyphenating Aschelminthes.

Words that end in "INTH":

Aschelminthes. Almost. Except there's no singular.

eta. Hmm. Okay, Aschelminth is an adjective meaning "related to the Aschelminthes", so it's a word.

Aschelminth.

That's a good one. I did see it in that Wiki article, really.

My son's got a student account at Exeter University, they have free off-campus access from home, I got him to tear himself away from his book and log me in.

Come on you wretches, the other threads like this have hundreds of posts, this one's only had twentysomething. If we don't get at least two hundred words listed I'll take it as a personal affront.

I reckon I was a Nemathelminth in an earlier life.

The Good Doctor brings our total to fourteen. Lil~Basco's thread, by contrast, has over four thousand posts and rising. I'll go and put my head in a bucket of water until the count here's at least doubled.

And how do you spell absinthe?

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Sun Jul 13, 2008 12:30 pm

The dictionary here gave both variations-with and without the final "e."

No, that's one single web-page by someone whose first language isn't English mis-quoting a homeopath from a hundred years ago. http://www.homeoint.org/cazalet/tyler/c ... fantum.htm

Colocynth is a herbal remedy for the infantile summer cholera, Colocynthis.

Nobody has been so shockingly ignorant as to drop the final "e" since 1861, and even then they blushed when they did it!

By theia in post 11 when she crawled out of the games area specially to help us out. She's a good stick.

No, you didn't have a helminth infestation of your unmentionables that's all. I mean, I'm pleased you didn't but we all got to look the word up several times while it was being discussed. Eww helminths we all shouted.

I think twelve's all there is to be found, I can see we're going to need a new suffix at this rate. You'd have thought something as simple as INTH would have hundreds. It's almost like some dog checked first that there were so few just to flummox the posters.
