Hi,
You never know when fictionary is about to happen to you. Just came
across the following (two phoneticians are criticizing two other
phoneticians' methodology):
The list also included words that are outdated or of only
regional use, as well as extremely rare wordforms (one of
which the authors of the present study, both native speakers
of German, had to look up in a dictionary [2]).
[2] e.g. _schrag_ ("manufacture x-shaped wooden bar
constructions to serve as table legs or roof-gable
delimiter elements", imp. sg.)
(from H. G. Piroth and P. M. Janker (2004). Speaker-dependent differences
in voicing and devoicing of German obstruents. Journal of Phonetics
32:81-109.)
