The E-Sylum: Volume 10, Number 31, August 5, 2007, Article 9 VOCABULARY QUESTION: EXONUMIA ADJECTIVES Ron Abler writes: "I have a question that I would like to pose to the members of the E-Sylum, because I cannot think of a more qualified audience to provide a thoughtful and definitive answer. I collect medals and tokens, which makes me an exonumist, one who studies exonumia (more than one of an exonumium, I presume). That takes care of the nouns, but what about the adjective? Do I collect objects that are exonumic, exonumical, exonumial, or what?" [Good question, and I'll expand it as follows. In the U.K., the field known in the U.S. as exonumia is paranumismatics. So what are the adjectival forms of these two words? -Editor] Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature.
