Best list ever!
I was looking up the terminology for a fear of snakes(Ophidiophobia) and stumbled across this list
Apparently I'm not the only one who is afraid of precipices. I definitely have this one:

Selachophobia- Fear of sharks.
Spermatophobia or Spermophobia- Fear of germs.
Stenophobia- Fear of narrow things or places.

Xanthophobia- Fear of the color yellow or the word yellow.
