[Taxacom] We need a new word

[Henrik Enghoff]

Why not anthropochore, in analogy with, e.g. anemochore (try googling that).

Hi Taxacomers,

I have felt the need for a new word related to

ANTHROPOCHOROUS.

This word describes the phenomenon.  What we
need is a word that covers the organism,
and I propose

ANTHROPOCHORITE.

This will be one of those situations where the
adjective came before the noun.

Any comments?

Robin
