I know it depends on the situation and domain alot, but it kinda creates a dilemma, where I encounter a word thats very or quite rare and not the most obvious compound-word either, so I hesitate to add it because it could be just clogging up my already semi large new-reviewed card ratio on Anki.
But then also, as opposed to very frequent words that you don't actually have to add, because you'll just remember them, since they appear so often, I imagine if I want to have any chance of recognising this infrequent word in the future, I have to add it…
This word 末弟「ばってい」from Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles was one example of this for me:
「武門の棟梁として名高いベホルブ家の末弟だ」
The JPDB ranking for that reading is >50k
What's your thought process going about this kind of thing?
