But personally I am not very fond of looking for perfect definitions because it may put you into total block.
I agree with you! But my point was that, without giving a 'definition' of what is normal and what is weird, it's impossible to create a list of weird words (the 'definition' can be more more less fuzzy, but of course, the less fuzzy it is, the best: the list should be, at least mostly, reproducible).
I made a test with another possible definition: a word is 'weird' if it contains the least frequent bigrams. There are 42 bigrams which appear just once in the RF1a-n transcription (full list below): examples of words containing them are 'oqd', 'aqol', 'tameiin', 'docheesm', 'tolkaiinr' and 'qrgs'. The latter is doubly weird because it contains two of the rarest bigrams ('qr' and 'gs', 'rg' is rare too but appears 7 times). So, by this criterion, there are at most 41 weird words (I did not check them all).
