J.Aisenberg’s and J. Studdard’s comments about the general misinformation in relation to the very distinct words “pedophile” and “pederast” (only the passionate “erastes” and the amicable “phile” is shared by them) led me to consider Nabokov’s coinage of the nickname “Nymphobottom” in ADA.

(I’m roaming, too, and cannot access either book nor archives to check “Nymphobottom”, if it is correctly spelled, nor Cattulus’ angry poem )
