Not to be confused with someone with a *rational* fear of the number 13! (Sorry.) Actually it's 'triskadekaphobic' (note spelling) and the forms are: 'triskadekaphobe' -- one who is afraid of the number 13 (noun) 'triskadekaphobic' -- afraid of the number 13 (adj.) 'triskadekaphobia' -- fear of the number 13 (noun) though I imagine that 'triskadekaphobic' could be a parallel construction to 'paraplegic' et al. Evelyn C. Leeper ...ihnp4!hocsj!ecl
