Obviously it's a subjective call, but to me the words below seem fairly common, certainly relative to most of the others on the list:
lump, veil, rent, stalk, rut, reel, apron, rinse, proper, swerve, quarry.
In a few cases, I can imagine that you might have added them because of a less common secondary meaning - for instance, rut as a verb, rent as a past participle of rend, and so forth.

Thanks, and also for my profile comment.
Yes, I'm to some degree dependent on input from you guys as it is rather hard for me to differentiate between those words which are new only to me and such which might also be a novelty to native speakers. In some cases—for example proper—I've added the corresponding citation to the word page. In some cases I probably neglected to do that though it would have been necessary, but in many cases—apron being one of them I think—I simply didn't know the word at that time and copied it onto one of my special Wordie sheets.
So thanks a lot for your words, I'll process them immediately. :-)

Wonderful, another Gene Wolfe reader. Welcome to my list.
I haven't read those two books yet. Next I'll turn to The Book of the Long Sun and There Are Doors.
Have great fun.

Thanks for the list! I'll definitely check back here as I read to some of the more mysterious words I come across. I love his writing style and use of both old and invented words. For the most part there's always just enough context for me to imagine what they refer to, but at the same time I love how he treats you like you should already know what they mean, even when you really shouldn't know, and in that way allows your imagination more room to wonder, which is what good fiction should do.
June 25, 2010
Telofy commented on the list gene-wolfe
Thanks, I hope my list will be of service to you, in some way. Of course, as a fan, I have to insist that none of his words are entirely invented, that all of them have some root one might be able to discern if one knows Greek, Latin, Spanish, and a few more languages.
When I read The Book of the New Sun for the first time a few years ago (thanks to Julia Ecklar’s song Terminus Est) I had—English being my second language—no way of secerning the two categories of, to me, unknown words you mentioned. I understood what was going on and, naturally, looked up lots of words (that was before I found Wordie, today’s Wordnik) but in rereading it now, yet more dimensions of the text unfold, as, for example, this (reader-teasing part of a) paragraph about Mater Gurloes:
—Gene Wolfe, “The Shadow of the Torturer”, chapter June 25, 2010
25513195 commented on the list gene-wolfe
Haha, yea I love how he pulls us right into the world by assuming that those are common to us. I didn't look them up at the time though, so it's interesting to find out what they mean.
That's awesome that it was through one of his words that you found out about the book, and I now see what you mean about how none of his words are really invented. My favorite one so far is baluchither. I thought of it as an elephant type animal but without a trunk, since no trunk was mentioned anywhere. In my mind I also gave it more of a protruding, lizard-like head, for what reason I don't really know. Just recently found out that it in fact refers to a huge, now extinct, hornless rhinoceros (baluchitherium or indricothere), which looks surprisingly close to what I envisioned.
Pretty awesome what words can do.

Telofy commented on the list gene-wolfe
Unfortunately, I haven’t read any of the books you mentioned on my temporary Urth list, but another one I did read was There Are Doors. What I found especially intriguing in that novel is his subtle play with narrative perspective. Surprisingly, the story is told from a third-person perspective, but one soon notices that this is nothing but a clever disguise for a highly subjective narration. Even the writing style changes with the mental state of the protagonist. :-)
I have a propensity for subvocalization, so I often stumble on words whose pronunciation I don’t know or can’t settle on. For baluchither I can come up with one that seems natural enough, and the word is not too frequent throughout the books (one occurrence in Urth; eleven in Claw), but there are many words that renew my discombobulation each time I try to read them. In an interview with Gene Wolfe the interviewer kept pronouncing autarch /ˈɔtɑrtʃ/ instead of /ˈɔtɑrk/. Luckily, the word is comparatively well dictionaried, so I could learn that it wasn’t just me who had that problem.
Oh, and by the way, welcome to Wordnik!
Update: Ah, baluchithere is pronounced /bəˈlutʃəˌθɪər/, so without the extra e the pronunciation the word seemed to have whispered into my third ear, /bəˈlutʃəˌθər/, seems close enough.

Thanks! 'There Are Doors' sounds great - I've read books that are told in 3rd person but still subjective to one or more of the characters, but nothing quite like the way that sounds. I also subvocalize waay too much, which is probably why I don't read very fast, so I'm the same way with word pronunciations. In the worst cases I just skip the word entirely when reading, and many times I find that I've been pronouncing one wrong in my head the entire time and it's almost impossible to revert to the real pronunciation.
June 30, 2010
Telofy commented on the list gene-wolfe
If I have to read long, plainly written non-fiction texts I sometimes try to read without the subvocalization, but often, not only with fiction, I feel like I’d be missing out on much of the sentence melody, so I can’t really muster the motivation to actually train speed reading techniques.
When you relearn a pronunciation for some obscure word, do you also go through such interesting phases as, for example, when your brain had tagged the spelling with “this other pronunciation is the correct one”, only, the correct pronunciation has already become the more familiar to you and thus changed places with the incorrect one, making the incorrect one “the other pronunciation” and you end up in complete discombobulation?
June 30, 2010
25513195 commented on the list gene-wolfe
Hah, yea I've had things like that happen. When I'm trying to pronounce something differently I always have to hesitate and think when I come to the word. Reading is such a subconscious action that it's hard reverse a long-time habit.
If you haven't read 'Latro in the Mist' though I'd recommend that. It's a written account much like 'New Sun,' but in this case the narrator forgets everything each day so he writes it all down, instead of 'New Sun' where the narrator remembers everything clearly.

I’ve read several very favorable reviews of that novel. Fascinating, how, with regard to memory, two opposite extremes can be used to very similar ends.
Is there a term for such elaborate subterfuges as (some) authors employ to increase the verisimilitude of their narrative by linking the world of their novel with the reader’s? (Explaining how TBotNS found its way back into our time, why it’s in English, why all direct speech is actually verbatim, etc.)

Ah it explains that? I guess I'll get to that part. Yea I don't know what that term might be or if there is a term for it, but I really enjoy novels that use that technique effectively. You might like Crichton's "Eaters of the Dead," which probably takes the technique further than anything else I've read.

When you read the beginning (or so) of The Urth of the New Sun, you can at least form theories how it may have found its way to 20th century Illinois, so Gene Wolfe could translate it. ;-)
Btw., for such cases when you can’t think of the right word or can’t recall it, we have this list.
