You might be thinking of Xi, not Qi, one of the few X words... Its a greek letter. Not sure how come greek letters are allowed but foreign words aren't.

I can't remember the details of the dictionary we were using but it billed itself as "The Official Scrabble Dictionary".
FWIW if it were up to me I wouldn't allow PDQ.
