That's what I meant.  Things that appear once in the texts.  If they are
puzzling - they aren't always - you have the problem that you can't get
additional examples to work them out.  There are other issues, too of
course.  For example, even multiple examples are not enough sometimes, if
they are all the same, or inadequate in some other way.
