Hemosexuality: being attracted only to menstruating women.

That would be haemorrhoeophilia, despite the fact that hemorrhoids usually have nothing to do with menstruation.


Wouldn't this really be meno(rrhea)philia? Come to think of it, given what happens with the menses here, menolagnia sounds better still.

rrhea vs. rrhoea, I get. But rrhoeo, I don't. Or take anni, annu, and enni, for example. I understand the meaning, but I don't know why the vowels change. Does it have to do with rules in the source language? Reintroduction of the same root but over a long period of time, indicating a change in the source language? Something else entirely?
