If the root word is "friar" (Tagalog "prayle"), why call it "frailocracy"? If the term is used to refer to the direct involvement of the clergy in the affairs of government, should the term be friarocracy, or clericocracy (from cleric) or jaime-sin-ocracy (from you-know-who)? Frailocracy is easy to misread as "failocracy" which is what our present government has been successfully able to do -- fail. PMana _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
