-loquy

[ feed | comment feed | cloud | sort:  alpha / order added ]
From Latin loquium, speech, speaking (loquī, to speak). Archaisms, medical terms, and a few surviving into (near-)common speech. Comments soon!

The -quy is a slightly gangling syllable; yet in context, quite elegant.

Paucity was Dr Somebody's word of the day and I read past the first the line, which is probably illegal is some countries.

Very very well spotted! I remember reading it a lot as I inferred what it meant, but forgot to add it.

This is certainly no pauciloquacious list.

pauciloquy - use of few words in speaking. Few words spkg.

Lot of dead -quys here :-( Even soliloquy needs the electric paddles to get it going these days. Perhaps this list is the turning point. Tristiloquy sounds very sad indeed ... is it?

Perhaps a (Son of) Grouchoquy is required.
