Abacs is an example. But since you posted this, I looked some of them up and see there are a whole lot of uncommon words, but not necessarily non-words. A lot of the words I was questioning are actually foreign words that transferred to English for when speaking about the foreign concepts. Eg: Abuna.

Except I didn't find a definition for abacs, but it's probably just not in every dictionary.
