Hellatine, according to the Hellatine Dictionary of Bureaucratese (which has 
words from Sanskrit, Mongolian, Hebrew, and sundry other languages as well as 
mixed-up Latin and Greek), means consisting of Latin and Greek morphemes put 
together, or by extension, other languages mixfused. "Hylism" is pure Greek, 
not Hellatine.

Sorry for the double post. I had "sendmail" on the command line and hit up
