 * Well, I get 34 b.g.c. hits that all seem to use it seriously. It looks like a neologism. --EncycloPetey 19:37, 24 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Nah, this has been around for a while. It's definitely a real word.  Widsith 19:39, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Some citations:


 * Jerold C. Frakes, Early Yiddish Texts 1100-1750: With Introduction and Commentary (2004) p. 750:
 * [T]he first five fables follow a different sequence in the two texts, which causes a logical problem in the epimyth to fable no. 6 in Wallich's collection; and tale no. 35 from the earlier collection is omitted by Moses Wallich.
 * Edward W. Wheatley, Mastering Aesop: medieval education, Chaucer and his followers (2000) p. 227:
 * [P]resumably the “man of education” did not reproduce the epimyth of the fable, which warns that one should always anticipate the result of one's actions.
 * Reb Moshe Walich, Book of Fables: The Yiddish Fable Collection of Reb Moshe Wallich, Frankfurt Am Main, 1697 (1994) p. 19:
 * In principle each fable in the collection is divided into two parts: the narrative itself, followed by an explicit moral or epimyth.
 * In most of the fables the length of the epimyth ranges between six and twelve lines.
 * Daniele Vare, The Quarterly Review (1934) p. 448:
 * [I]t is the Odyssean episode with a Christian epimyth.
 * William Fleming, Henry Calderwood, A Vocabulary of the Philosophical Sciences (1881) p. 664:
 * The epimyth, coming after the fable, the moral.
