Although the compiler of this list claims that this list reflects the original Swadesh 1952 200, it contains in fact some deviations. For example, Gudschinsky introduces dashed labels (like «fat-grease») in those cases where Swadesh had put one of the items in brackets (like «fat (grease)»). This practice has led to some confusion in later work by scholars who would claim to use Swadesh's list of 200 items but who were in fact only referring to Gudschinsky's list.
