Fear of floods. Only in word lists. The one citation given has poor grammar and appears to be a vanity-published poem by a subliterate writer. Equinox ◑ 20:58, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
- "Th eother" and "learing" were typos introduced by an editor. They weren't found in the original text. It's "learning to read was thy great antlophobia." It's think it's a metaphor for finding learning to read as a young child to be overwhelming — fearing that you're going to be inundated by words. -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 01:05, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
- Cited if you count the poem. -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 01:34, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
- RFV passed, I think. Glossed as rare. Thanks, Cloudcuckoolander. Equinox ◑ 01:28, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
