Tamil terms with individual senses that are rarely found in general use and may not be recognized by some native speakers.

To categorize into this category, use{{lb|ta|rare}} (templatelb, nottlb), which should typically be placed next to the individual sense.

If the term itself, in all its senses, is rare, it should be placed in[[Category:Tamil rare terms]] instead, using{{tlb|ta|rare}} (templatetlb instead oflb), which should typically be placed next to the headword. If the term is merely a variant (alternative form) of a term in general use, it should be categorized in[[Category:Tamil rare forms]] (using{{rare form of|ta|...}} or{{rare spelling of|ta|...}}).

Rare senses should be distinguished from uncommon senses, which are not common but used enough to be generally recognized.

The following labels generate this category:rare (aliasrare sense)^edit;very rare^edit. To generate this category using one of these labels, use{{lb|ta|label}}.
