currently trying hard to refresh my Kanji skills and stumbled over

お腹 == おなか

To my surprise none of the Kanji dictionaries list the reading なか for this
Kanji. Only フク and はら. Is there a third category I am not aware of ?

Thx.

question
kanji pronunciation readings
Is the reading 腹【なか】 neither an on-yomi nor a kun-yomi?
Yes, that's the case. According to the Japanese Stage-Step Course: Writing
Practice Book by Wako Tawa, [page
206](https://books.google.es/books?id=s0KUAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA205&lpg=PA205&dq=%22%E3%81%8A%E8%85%B9%22+%E7%86%9F%E5%AD%97%E8%A8%93&source=bl&ots=VhB1jIom85&sig=ACfU3U1WAaHb6Wp2zKae4eRtLQGEdRcJ7g&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj5vZGJwP3iAhWjy4UKHX80BWsQ6AEwAHoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=%22%E3%81%8A%E8%85%B9%22%20%E7%86%9F%E5%AD%97%E8%A8%93&f=false),
「お腹【なか】」is a 熟字訓【じゅくじくん】, i.e. a special kanji reading which is neither an
音読【おんよ】み nor a 訓読【くんよ】み. Please refer to [this
