Hapax legomena

Can anyone point me to a relatively recent list of "absolute hapax 
legomena"? That is, words that occur only one time in the NT and not in any 
previous known Greek literature. It's not hard to find a list of "relative" 
hapaxes--those that occur only once in the NT, but I'm looking for a more 
narrow list. I've read the intro to BDAG, but despite a number of catalog 
lists, I don't think they include what I'm seeking--unless I've not 
understood the descriptions that Bauer gives.

I have noted that BDAG *sometimes* includes the designation "hapax leg." in 
an entry (e.g., EPISUNTRECW), but other times he lists only a single NT use 
and no uses outside the NT (e.g., EKPERISSWS--and L&S/Glare is the same).
