Comment on the word's morphology

[edit]

If the word were to be correct Greek it should have been ἀνοίκησις - anoikesis from ἀν- "without" and οἴκη-σις "state of residing in a house" (from οἰκέ "I inhabit"). Morphologically, the word that Frisch and Francis invented makes no sense either in Greek or Neolatin and this could be noted in the article. --Omnipaedista (talk) 20:18, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
