Rfv-sense of the anthropological sense, which is a PaM toy. Searches for the plural on BGC doesn't give this sense and searching for "a chronic" doesn't yield any noun senses within a reasonable amount of pages. There may be a sense/misconstruction for "chronicle" by the way. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 09:34, 23 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Searching through the anthropological literature, I only find chronic used as an adjective. Kiwima (talk) 19:00, 23 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
Strike that, I think I see what this entry might be trying for. Kiwima (talk) 19:04, 23 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
All the same, all I can find is use as an adjective or another version of a person who is chronic. Kiwima (talk) 19:48, 23 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
