Extract
- Merriam-Webster:
merriam-webster.com/dictionary/iktsuarpok— HTTP 404, confirmed no entry. - Dictionary.com:
dictionary.com/browse/iktsuarpokresolves to a spelling-suggestion page headed "KAPOK Definition & Meaning," with a "Search instead for iktsuarpok" link; following that link (?noredirect=true) returns HTTP 404. Confirmed no entry. - Oxford English Dictionary: a direct OED dictionary-search URL (
oed.com/search/dictionary/?scope=Entries&q=iktsuarpok), fetched via ther.jina.aireader-proxy per this project's standing OED-access workaround, returned only the OED homepage/navigation with no search result for the term. No OED entry found; not treated as an exhaustive confirmed-absence given the proxy's partial hit rate on OED pages generally (seewiki/conventions.md/NEXT.mdfences), but no positive evidence of an entry either. - Cambridge Dictionary:
dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/iktsuarpok— HTTP 403 (standing blocked host for this project'sWebFetch, consistent with prior sessions' findings for other words). Resolved 2026-09-07 via the search-endpoint workaround discovered for abhiman (session 55):dictionary.cambridge.org/search/direct/?datasetsearch=english&q=iktsuarpok, fetched viar.jina.ai, returns a genuine "Did you spell it correctly" page suggesting only "kapok" as a similar spelling — a confirmed absence, not a silent homepage redirect. This is the technique's second successful application (after abhiman), reinforcing it as a generalizable route for Cambridge lookups. - Collins Dictionary (checked 2026-09-07):
collinsdictionary.com/search/?dictCode=english&q=iktsuarpok, fetched viar.jina.aiafter a direct-fetch HTTP 403. Returns "Sorry, no results for 'iktsuarpok' in the English Dictionary," with spelling suggestions ("kapok," "tarpon") and an invitation to submit the word as a new entry. Confirmed no entry. - Oxford Learner's Dictionaries (checked 2026-09-07):
oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/search/english/?q=iktsuarpok, fetched viar.jina.aiafter a direct-fetch HTTP 403. Returns "No exact match found for 'iktsuarpok' in English," suggesting "kapok" instead. Confirmed no entry. - Glosbe (English–Inuktitut dictionary aggregator, not a primary lexicographic authority):
glosbe.com/en/iu/iktsuarpokgives a thin entry — headword with an Inuktitut-syllabics rendering (ᐃᒃᑦᓱᐊᕐᐳᒃ) and the same "checking outside for an arriving guest" gloss, sourced explicitly as "en.wiktionary2016" — i.e., it appears to be downstream of Wiktionary rather than an independent primary confirmation.
Gaps
