Given that 'visitor' in (modern) Greek is επισκέπτης (episképtis), and 'relatives' in Greek is συγγενείς (syngeneís), I would say that 'episkeptical syngeneiophobia' would refer to fear of relatives visiting, and 'syngeneical episkeptophobia' would refer to fear of visiting relatives.
(or is it the other way round?)
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Yes, it seems the concepts are related.

Having problems with arthritis in my hands. Anyone using any of the ergo keyboards with success? Any experiences recommendations? I see stuff up to $300+ dollars. Wow!

I image that is a highly personal preference purchase. Not sure where you can go anymore to test them out but I would definitely try before you buy.

I own 2 of these (1 work and 1 at home) and have been buying them since they were made available (back in 95 I think):
Microsoft Natural ergonomic -- amazon[^]
They allow your wrists to rest in their natural state but you have to be a touch typist to use them.
Natural state of wrist rest is:
* curved fingers
* arms turned slightly in (palms slightly facing each other)
* wrists aligned (not bent) with the rest of the arm (wrists not bent and pinching internally)
* arms supported on desktop --- not forcing shoulders to hold arm weight
You can see these keyboards at local office supply stores.
** Also, once you use this keyboard for a few days and try a regular one again, you will notice that your wrists were actually twisted outwards for typing.

I also use this keyboard and my wrists have hurt a lot less since starting with it. For what it's worth, I also use a mouse that lets my wrist rest on it's side. Takes a bit getting used to, but helps tremendously with the pain.

I have two "cursor/pointer" devices. One for each hand.
A mouse for my right hand and a trackball for my left hand so I can vary usage throughout the day.
I really like the trackball best though.

Why have I never tried a track ball?

Because you don't think they are better. I've used them for ages - maybe thirty years - and wouldn't go back to a mouse. They never fall off the edge of the mousepad, you can click them without the mouse moving, and they really feel natural once you are used to them. That takes a while - you can get some pain for a couple of days because you aren't used to moving your thumb so much.
I've lost count of how many I've got though, and my current one is about ten or fifteen years old.
Logitech Trackman Wheel: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories[^] - sadly, you can't get them any more ... it's wireless now: M570 Wireless Trackball - Logitech[^]
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I think I'm ordering one today. This is pure genius. I remember a roommate had one in college 20 years ago and I wasn't sure I could get used to it so I never tried. Really never paid more attention to it till today. But with my hands the way they are, I should have
Do they make them so I can use my middle and ring finger to move the ball? Clicking seems more natural with my thumb/index finger and rolling with the others. I seem to remember my roommates' being that way.
