Leukophobia – Fear of white
Levophobia – Fear of objects to the left side of the body
Ligyrophobia/Phonophobia/Sonophobia – Fear of loud noises
Lilapsophobia – Fear of tornados and hurricanes
Limnophobia – Fear of lakes
Liticaphobia – Fear of lawsuits

Levophobia, fear of objects on the left side of the body is interesting. The protagonist of my current novel suffers from lyssophobia, unless of course the fear of going insane is specifically linked to rabies.

I read that lyssophobia has two meanings as it’s a combination of hydrophobophobia (fear of rabies) and maniophobia (fear of going insane). When put together, it becomes fearful of going insane and/or a fear of having rabies, so you’re good to go. ^^

Oh good. I read one version where it defined it as the fear of rabies, or the fear of going insane from having rabies, which would not be applicable. So, having the two definitions be unrelated works much better for my purposes. ๐

Logophobia โ Fear of words. If I had Logophobia, I wouldn’t be able to read this blog…or write this comment. Mind blown!
