From the creators of opacarophilia, acucullophilia, ursusagalamatophilia, pluviophilia and similar spawns now comes 'nixphilia'! It is assumed that they wanted to invent chinophilia, from the Greek 967; 953; 969; 957; (chioon "snow") , or perhaps nifadophilia, by 957; 953; 966; 945; 962; (niphas "snowflake") with the suffix - 966; 953; 955; 953; 945; (-filia "love, affective inclination") , for "one who enjoys the snow, the snow"; but, as usual, they made a bad mistake for him. It turns out that instead of taking a Greek root they used nix, nivis ("snow") which is Latin, and on top of that /x/ is from the nominative (the Castilianization would have been more adjusted with /v/) and to top it all off it turns out that if we want to understand its meaning we find that the Greek 957; 965; 958; (nyx) exists, and it means "night", although for "nocturnal predilection" we already have 'nyctophilia' which uses its genitive 957 better; 965; 954; 964; 959; 962; ( nyktós ) . The punchline would be the /xf/ pair of consonants crying out for a vowel in the middle.
