It Says Here 2 - Apositiophobia

Rating: 5.0


Sema Siope and Sitos,
it says on 74
are Greek for Sign Silence and Food.

Apo is away from.

Aposematic
is the red stripe on the ab of a spider.
It signs: Keep Away From I!

Aposiopesis is a sudden silence mid-sentence
as might happen when you suddenly die.

Apositia is aversion to food.
Sitiophobia, it says on 1614,
is morbid aversion to food.
Sitiophilia isn't there,
but has to be the love of it.
Apositiophilia must be the love of aversion to it.
Apositiophobia must be morbid aversion to aversion to it.
With that
you'd be an apositiophobe,
and, as that,
you'd probably be fat.

You continue to make something out of just words not very often used which makes it interesting.
