  16. # 2017-11-22: first version on this website; I deleted a bunch of words that I didn't like as much (almost all of them are Greek-derived words from my Etymology class), and changed some words:
    • malcare → anticare, because mal implies that this is bad (which it isn't necessarily; it could just be an unusual preference), and anticare seems like something that might be understood without a definition
    • prepreantepenultimate → forepreantepenultimate: more variety of prefixes (I think an even older version had preantepenultimate, which I changed because that word already existed)
    • encephalography → scribimency: encephalography was already in use with another meaning, and I got rid of encephalexia
    • erythrochlorous → gred: I decided a shorter, English-derived word made sense. (Actually, previous versions of this list had both erythrochlorous and gred; the change here was getting rid of erythrochlorous. I also changed erythrochlorous to gred in "The Agnographer".)
    • also added drogynous and -gry (the latter I thought of some time in the past, can't remember when)
  17. # 2019-07-19: gleen
  18. # 2024-07-26:
    • heterochromous → xenochromous, because that's probably more accurate to what I was going for, and "heterochromia" already had a different meaning
    • mentioned erythrochlorous in the entry for gred
    • fixed broken links (pointed them to Web Archive), and also some minor formatting changes
