- I'm totally mystified by the that definition of Hyp listed on this page. Is the idea that "hyp" is used to mean "hypochonaria", which itself is meaningless? I think this line is more confusing than anything else, and I'd like to delete it. I'll be bold now and do it, but I wanted to put a note in Talk: to explain myself. Remes 22:49, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
