And even allowing for trying to spell Greek words with latin letters, I think it would be arktI, or arctEphobia. But I aint for sure on that at all. ( Comitment phobia) The North Pole is in the Artic not the Arkoud. Well there is at least one north pole in Slupsk. Rjxzkny phobia-fear of Polish also known as Matte Finnish.

This introduces also the term bearanoia: "Biologists are using the term bearanoia to describe the fear resulting from a rash of bear attacks on people in Alaska. Yet phobia, meaning fear, would be a better Greek-derived suffix than noia, from nous or mind. Some phobia words are hybrid compounds, often intended as humorous, such as dustophobia or Iraqnophobia. Ursaphobia could be another way of indicating a dread of those furry omnivores. COIN OF THE REALM. To coin a word or phrase is to invent it, not to borrow it or make it widespread. Credit for the creation of popular new expressions may have many claimants, and it is usually easier to prove that a word could not have been first introduced by a particular person.
