TechnicalRegister
The controlled allocation of a scarce good by means other than price.
When prices are capped below equilibrium, queues and rationing replace the market's clearing function.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
