This concept list consists of 204 concepts, 164 of which derive from Swadesh's Swadesh 1952 200 and Swadesh 1955 100. Items marked with an asterisk and a dollar sign appear in the 100-item and 200-item lists, respectively. The reasons for the exclusion of concepts were both pragmatic (absence of concepts in the languages under investigation), and theoretical (ambiguity in the target languages).
