Source — direct dictionary checks for "ya'aburnee" (all negative)
- Title: (compiled record of direct fetch checks, not a single external page)
- Author: this project (direct verification checks)
- Publication: n/a — a filed record of several direct WebFetch checks against major English reference works
- Date: checks performed 2026-09-04
- URL(s) checked:
- https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ya'aburnee — HTTP 404
- https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ya'aburnee — HTTP 404
- https://www.dictionary.com/browse/yaaburnee — resolves to the unrelated "barnburner" entry with a "Search instead for yaaburnee?noredirect=true" suggestion link; no dedicated entry
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ya'aburnee — redirects to the Wikipedia article for Halsey's 2021 album If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power (whose closing track is titled "Ya'aburnee"), not to any dedicated article about the word/phrase itself
- Type: primary (this project's own direct checks) / neutral

Extract
- No dedicated entry exists for "ya'aburnee" in Merriam-Webster, English Wiktionary, or Dictionary.com, each directly checked rather than reported via WebSearch synthesis, per this project's standing verification practice.
- The English Wikipedia URL for the word redirects rather than 404ing, but only to Halsey's album article (via the song title) — not a substantive treatment of the word/phrase itself, and not evidence of independent lexicographic/encyclopedic coverage.
- Collins Dictionary carries only a user-submitted "New Word Suggestion" page for "Ya'aburnee" (
collinsdictionary.com/submission/3282/Ya'aburnee, title confirmed via search-result snippet) — i.e. a pending community proposal, not an approved dictionary entry — but this project could not directly read the page's content (HTTP 403 on direct fetch), so the submission's date, submitter, or proposed definition text are not independently confirmed. - Combined, this is this project's most complete "zero major-English-reference-work adoption" case, comparable to meraki's (no Merriam-Webster, no English Wiktionary, no dedicated Wikipedia article) but with the added, directly-confirmed negative result for Dictionary.com specifically (not checked for meraki) and the redirect-not-404 nuance for Wikipedia.
Gaps
- Oxford English Dictionary and Oxford Learner's Dictionaries not checked this session (consistent with this project's standing OED-access fence — direct entry pages redirect to an OAuth login wall).
- Collins's actual submission-page content remains unread (403) — flagged as a blocked lead, not a confirmed absence, unlike the other four checks here.
