Status: Draft · Date: 2026-10-13 · Input: ## Survivors of owner-review-14-words-stage1-2026-10-13.md · Research, no decision.

Method (re-runnable)

All queries paced 3 s apart, run with curl from this sandbox on 2026-10-13.

Check	Command	Reading
.com, .app, get<name>.com	curl -sL https://rdap.org/domain/<d>	200 = taken (registrar and creation year from the JSON), 404 = free
.kr, .co.kr	curl -sL https://rdap.kisa.or.kr/domain/<d>	200 = taken, 404 = free
.io	printf "<d>\r\n" | nc whois.nic.io 43	"Domain not found" = free
.co	printf "<d>\r\n" | nc whois.registry.co 43	"DOMAIN NOT FOUND" = free
Taken .com homepage	curl -sL http://<name>.com/ once	live, parked or for sale (see below)
X	curl -sL -o /dev/null -w %{http_code} https://x.com/<h>	made-up handle zzqxkwv1 gives 404, real google gives 200. Reads as real status codes, but X also answers 200 for suspended or empty squatted names. Weak evidence.
YouTube	same on https://www.youtube.com/@<h>	made-up 404, real 200. Weak: a channel can exist under a different custom URL.
TikTok	curl -sL https://www.tiktok.com/@<h> and read "statusCode" in the page JSON	made-up gives 10221 (not found), real (@tiktok) gives 0. The plain HTTP code is 200 for everything, and the oEmbed endpoint returned 503 for made-up handles, so the JSON code is the only usable signal. Weak.
Naver Blog	curl -sL https://rss.blog.naver.com/<name>.xml	made-up id gives an RSS with an empty <title/>, a real blog (ranto28) gives a filled title. The blog.naver.com page itself gives 404/500 unevenly. Weak.
Instagram, Threads	not checked (login wall)	not checked

Raw outputs: dom.out, han.out, home.out in the session scratchpad (.../scratchpad/s2/).

Findings in brief

• Every .com is taken (registered 1991 to 2019). Five are for sale or on a broker page: Jongi (HugeDomains), Sagak (HugeDomains), Sori (Spaceship page "for sale"), Goni (redirects to Atom, a name marketplace), Ubak (redirects to Namestar). Registrar names such as Unstoppable Domains (Goni, Gochi) and Network Solutions are held-for-resale style registrars, but the homepage did not say so, so they are not counted as for sale.
• Live sites on a taken .com: Megi (MEGI Engineering), Sabal (Sabal Investment Holdings), Basak (Turkish marketing firm, Basak Pazarlama), Bori (a "Bori" site), Jogi (a German personal page), Hobak, Toran, Jigap (placeholder pages), Nancho (redirects to a Korean plant blog, nan.co.kr). Homil and Ohu show a "Coming Soon" parking page. Hosu, Sudal, Dabal, Gamja and Gochi serve a blank or script-only page; Danchu, Nari, Ibul and Asak did not answer; Namul bounces to a parking network; Binu redirects to datafree.tech; Dubu redirects to https; Ima returns 401. These are not for sale on any evidence found.
• Handles: the bare name is taken on at least one of X, YouTube or TikTok for every word. The app form is free on all three for 16 of 29 words, so the handle condition is nearly always "use <name>app".
• Clear: none. Under the stage rule (clean address AND a handle free on all three), no word has a bare handle free on X, YouTube and TikTok together with a clean address.

Table
