Root fun!!

I love me some roots!!

A.Word.A.Day 10-25-10 email described this week's theme:

Here's a week of words made with various combining forms to expand your verbal repertoire. Feel free to mix and match them; try various combinations and permutations to bring a little variety, a little zest, to your lingo. The combining forms we are using this week are:
ventr- (belly), poso- (what quantity), onoma- (name), hagio- (holy), miso- (hate)
-logy (study), -mancy (divination), -latry (worship), and -gamy (marriage).  

I read this and immediately began wondering how I could use my new word, ventrilomancy, in a sentence. J 

• "A mother's ventrilomancy can spare her children much suffering, if she chooses to act on it." 
• "The doctor chose not to record his ventrilomancy on the record, even though his gut feeling had saved the patient's life."

Share your ideas--using this word or your own creations!
