comments as follows:-
I am an
passionate collector of sea glass and beach found pottery shards,
and I maintain friendships with other collectors with the same
passion all over the world. As collectors of sea glass and beach
found pottery shards we lack a proper “ology”. After a little
research, I thought these worked well.
Vitrumarisology
– collector of sea glass.
(Vitrum
– Latin for glass; Maris – Latin for sea translates to glass
– sea)
OR
Marisvitrumology
(translates to sea – glass)?
Fractatestaology
– Collector of pottery shards found on the beach
(Fracta – Latin for broken; testa – Latin for pot)
The Latin translation of militiludibriology (mil·i·til·u·di·bri·ol·o·gy)
or the study
of toy soldiers is
the creation of Richard H. Carson, a doctoral student of
organizational psychology at Washington State University and
webmaster of
http://www.carsoncollection.org/
The Latin for toy soldiers is militi ludibrio. The
pronounciation of the study is militi – di-bri-ology or /miləˌteˌdeˌbiˌäləjē/.
