	Hapax legomenon
		The word is also used more loosely (and therefore not quite correctly) to mean a word which occurs once in a given work, or once in a given author's work.
		Thus honorificabilitudinitatibus, occurring once in Shakespeare's plays, has been called a hapax legomenon, even though it does occur (exceedingly rarely) in other English works.
		The term in its loose usage is popular among Bible scholars, who take the number of hapaxes in a putative author's corpus as an indication of his vocabulary and thereby argue for or against attribution.

	Honorificabilitudinitatibus - Wikipedia
		Honorificabilitudinitatibus ist ein mittellateinisches Wort, das William Shakespeare in seiner Komödie Verlorene Liebesmüh verwendete und das in der Folge in der englischsprachigen Welt eine gewisse Berühmtheit erlangt hat.
		Die Form honorificabilitudinitatibus ist hier der durchaus korrekte Ablativ Plural des Wortes honorificabilitudinitas, das „Ehrenhaftigkeit“ bedeutet, aufgeschlüsselt nach Morphemen wörtlich „Fähigkeit, Ehre zu erringen“.
		Sir Edwin Lawrence-Durning suchte diese Annahme 1910 in seinem Buch Bacon is Shakespeare durch die Behauptung zu beweisen, dass honorificabilitudinitatibus tatsächlich ein Anagramm sei, mit dem Bacon das Stück chiffriert signiert habe.

		I'll go along with Thomas Burnam, who thinks that "a belief in Bacon's -- or anyone else's -- authorship of Shakespeare's plays is akin to a belief that the world is flat or that the moon is made of green cheese." The Baconians will grasp at just about anything to make their point, however.
