 * What is a "capnotic spell"? It's not clear that it has anything to do with the current entry. DTLHS (talk) 20:16, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I could see how it might refer to some kind of reaction to second-hand smoke ( combustion byproducts of clock parts? ), but I would also note that the 1957 quote is obviously a noun, not an adjective. Chuck Entz (talk) 20:33, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * There are no other results for "capnotic" in that book, but it could be obscured. DTLHS (talk) 23:00, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I think it is a mistake for "cyanotic": from page 36 DTLHS (talk) 23:12, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * There is a fictional Journal of Capnotic and Catoptric Studies (aka the Journal of Smoke and Mirrors).
 * Otherwise Google Scholar doesn't have anything but a mention in a paper of interpreting words from a context: "She was a capnotic. She simply did not want to smoke." What does the word "acapnotic" mean? DCDuring (talk) 01:37, 11 January 2020 (UTC)


 * RFV-failed. French capnoïde defined itself as this; I updated it. English capnoid may or may not be attestable (Citations:capnoid); I haven't created it. - -sche (discuss) 08:16, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
