Category:Terms with rare senses by language

Categories with terms with individual senses that are rarely found in general use and may not be recognized by some native speakers.

To categorize into this category, use {{lb|langcode|rare}} (template lb, not tlb), which should typically be placed next to the individual sense. (langcode is the appropriate language code for the language in question; see Wiktionary:List of languages.)

If the term itself, in all its senses, is rare, it should be placed in ] instead, using {{tlb|langcode|rare}} (template tlb instead of lb), which should typically be placed next to the headword. If the term is merely a variant (alternative form) of a term in general use, it should be categorized in ] (using {{rare form of|langcode|...}} or {{rare spelling of|langcode|...}}.

Rare senses should be distinguished from uncommon senses, which are not common but used enough to be generally recognized.

This is an umbrella category. It contains no dictionary entries, but only other, language-specific categories, which in turn contain relevant terms in a given language.

The following labels generate this category: rare (alias rare sense)^edit; very rare^edit. To generate this category using one of these labels, use {{lb|langcode|label}}, where langcode is the appropriate language code for the language in question (see Wiktionary:List of languages).
