This is an excerpt of a longer comparative wordlist proposed in Mann 2004 500. In this list, only those basic concepts are listed which occur in at least three different word lists, namely the combined lists of Swadesh Mann 2004 209, as proposed by Mann himself, the Mann 2004 210, also in the analysis of Mann, and the SIL 2002 436. Note, that, although this list should actually be based on the larger comparative list of 500 items in the same reference, the concept labels diverge in part from the ones used in the larger list. Thus, instead of «cut», we find «cut (with knife)», and «cloud» is labelled as «cloud (white)».
