not just a q-without-u word, but more importantly a two-letter word with q in it
two-letters are the most important words always. I can rack up 50 points pretty easy by playing a three letter word and making three two-letter words in doing so.

Today I jammed with my friend Erika, and we figured out a buncha songs to have both of us learn. Then I went through my handheld recorder and checked out some of my older song sketches. If my real job isn't gonna have me for a week and a half, might as well work on things I'd rather be working on.

--- End quote ---
While qi is the correct pinyin Romanisation for 气, which is not a proper noun, it is also the romanisation for 齐 as in the Qi Dynasty which is a proper noun.
Are "alpha" and "beta" valid Scrabble words? If so, why would "chi" not be? As well as being the Wade-Giles romanisation of 气，chi is a letter in the Greek alphabet. Every mathematician, or at least every statistician, knows the chi-squared test!

qaid and qait have always been acceptable in Scrabble. I have the book to show it.
Best thing to do in Scrabble is to agree on a dictionary and go from there. If it's not in the dictionary, it's not allowed.
LTK:
I reluctantly agreed to play a game of pub scrabble a while back with some fellow students, because I remembered that the last time I played it I was completely rubbish. But that was Dutch language scrabble, and it turns out that I totally rock at English language scrabble.
It still annoyed me that people kept using archaic words from various dictionaries, though.
