Should be/include -tomy?

edit

Dictionaries say that both -otomy and -tomy come from the same roots. I was hesitant to add anatomy because it isn't an -otomy, and yet it sure seems it should be here. Just look at its derivation. Shenme 22:06, 25 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

tomy, Latin tomia comes from Greek τομή (tomé) = „cut“, the "o" is just a binding vowel between the word stem of organ/tissue to be cut and the procedure (cutting), e.g. bronch-us AND tomia fuse to bronchotomia or Englisch bronchotomy. Therefore this list should be named list of -tomies like de:-tomie --Uwe Gille (talk) 22:05, 10 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
