Aloha Everyone,
Time for some more phobias. See if you can identify any root words in these phobias, and put them down in the Comments section. If you can come up with any more words using the roots that you have identified it would be better still.
Pogonophobia - Fear of beards.

ReplyDeleteHi Akshay,
ReplyDeleteWhy would I mind? One of the reasons for archiving the material is also so that it serves as a forum for discussion.
May more such contributions come in.
