Is there a standard term for words used by a single individual? I am not
talking about nonce formations, which are ephemeral, but of words used
consistently by a single person (or perhaps small minority). Many types of
dictionaries exclude such things, but it seems to me to be useful to
include them in dictionaries of dying languages.
