Appendix:Chinese dictionary-only terms

The following is a list of putative words that have entries in two or more general Chinese dictionaries, but that have two or fewer attested uses. Notable ghost words are also included for the sake of completeness.

Homonyms and individual senses of attested words are not included. This is due to the comparative difficulty of verifying non-attestability in such cases.
