new (non-)coinage ("vagitarian")

[Matthew Gordon]

This coinage seems also to support the re-analysis of 'vegetarian' into
'vege + tarian' instead of 'veget-arian'. That is, '-tarian' seems to
interpreted as a suffix meaning 'one who eats (only)'. Some further support
for this might be found with 'pescatarian'. Something like 'fruitarian'
doesn't help. Are there others?
