referenní

Referenní is a term that appears mostly as a misspelling or informal variant of the Czech word referenční, which means "reference" or "reference-related." There is no widely recognized concept or defined entry under the spelling referenní in standard dictionaries or major linguistic corpora. As a result, referenní is typically encountered as a typographical error in scholarly, technical, or public texts, where referenční would be the correct form.

In Czech, the adjective referenční derives from referenční and is used to describe things that pertain to a reference, such as referenční číslo (reference number), referenční vzorek (reference sample), or referenční data (reference data). The standard spelling for these terms is referenční; referenní would be interpreted as a mistake or as an authorial neologism without a defined sense.

If referenní is used in specialized or fictional contexts, its meaning would have to be supplied by the author. In editorial practice, occurrences of referenní are typically corrected to referenční to maintain standard spelling and clarity.
