-STASIS (meaning stationary; standing still):
venostasis
metastasis
bacterostasis
cytostasis
homeostasis
ekstasis
biostasis
enterostasis
hypostasis
eustasis
anastasis
hemostasis

-SOMA (meaning body):
trypanosoma
schistosoma
dactylyosoma
liposoma
pyrosoma
endosoma
elassmosoma
myxosoma
argentosoma

-ITIS (meaning inflammation) (there are almost as many of these as there are body parts, since any part of the body can become inflamed):
colitis
tonsilitis
mastitis
appendicitis
tendonitis
myocarditis
keratitis
tracheitis
bronchitis
dermatitis
hepatitis
carditis
gingivitis

Are you serious? The bible is God's word or whatever and if you're saying "well don't just read that cause it won't make sense read the scholar's writing too" then you're saying the bible won't make sense and you shouldn't have to read any scholar's writing's to understand the bible. The bible is supposed to be the words to live by and if you need to further understand it with scholars writing's then you know in your heart the bible is pure crap.
