darrylfrancis commented on the word qin
Chambers 2008 defines "qin" (note the lowercase q) as a Chinese seven-stringed musical instrument. Once this word comes into use for Scrabble, this will immediately become a very frequently used word, second only to "qi", and overtaking "qat" in frequency of use.
A variant spelling is "guqin", also in Chambers 2008.
