- What kind of terms for geology are we going for? Minerals, stone, large geological formations (Canadian Shield, Rocky Mountains, etc..), etc... <SHAPES> might also be an option for geology.

- SubMechanoPhobia needs to happen

Right now I'm using <CLOUDQ> for rocks and cliffs.

<CLOUDQ> works was designed to describe clouds and waves and it generally for rocks but some rock-specific phrases like 'moss-encrusted', 'tree-less', ' 'igneous' won't work for clouds and oceans. I was considering breaking-off those phrases into their own category <GEOQ>.

Various <SHAPE>-based functions are already incorporated into <CLOUDQ> and <GEOQ> would still refer to <CLOUDQ> but also contain many land-only phrases. Any descriptive phrases would work.

For <GEOS> it could be any geological noun: cliff, escapement, rift valley, sea-pillar. Many of these are already spread out in <PLACE> and <SEA_PLACE> - so I'm not sure how important <GEOS> would be.

"SubMechanoPhobia" can already be created by the list through <PRESCI2><PRESCI>phobia. I just have to add the -phobia and -mancy prefixes somewhere...

[[I will keep adding ideas to the first post, I like collecting stuff on-line for easy reference.]]
