Hi Bernie,
you're correct now.
it is the same in italian: "Antro" is a cave, and the translation in
"antrofonia" is a mistake, "antropofonia" is the correct term. We use
antropo..... to mean something connected with humans. Eg. the noise
generated by human activities is called "rumore antropogenico" or "rumore
di origine antropica" (anthropogenic noise and noise with anthropic origin"=
.
