[ExI] need a new word/suffix

[Anders Sandberg]

Latin for hate is "odium" (odi-, as in odious), greek is "miso" (tuned 
into mis-, as in misogynous). Neither seem to work as a suffix.

Then there is invidia, which primarily means envy/spite/ill will, but 
also hatred/dislike. Xenoinvidia sounds pretty impressive... except that 
it is a greek-latin hybrid (like television).

Latin has the word alienus for foreigner. Alienodium?

There is also the Latin word bracatus meaning "wearing trousers/foreign".

Hmm, what about allophobia?
