the last one is great. this form of polygamy may have worked prior to the marriage of television to the NFL.
... a query ... has polyandry fallen into disfavor? should research to see if, in the greek, polygamy a masculine or feminine noun. not a big deal in an age of neologisms and wickepedia (spelling).
I believe that grammatical gender of polygamy (Gk polygamia) is feminine. However, in the Greek language grammatical gender is, in most cases, rather arbitrary and has little connection to biological gender. Polygamy, polygyny, and polyandry refer to having muliple spouses, wives, and husbands, respectively. So, in this case it seems that the use of polygamy is not a neologism; it's just not specific.
Happy belated birthday Diana!
not meant to imply polygamy and polyandry were neologisms, simply that this is an age where multiple meanings, rather than specific meanings, are applied to words and that this practice is being conducted alongside that of creation of new words. Both practices, except to the verbal neophyte, abhorrent. polygamy can mean married to many but usually implies, according to OED, one man married to many women. polyandry is specific as poly means many and andry refers to the male (by sexual organs.
Since this is still the most current post shall I assume that you'll next be posting to wish your readers a happy St. Patrick's Day?
