             Shee-mal means “left" in Coptic/old Egyptian language (not   
   same as East though) which happened to sound similar to “Shamal" or   
   North in proper Arabic, where the proper Arabic word for “left” is   
   “Yaasar".

   In comparison...   
      -philia   
      -philiac   
               are much more suggestive of   abnormality   and/or  Disease
