This concept list is supposed to reflect Swadesh 1955 100 and was used for a lexicostatistic study of Arabic dialects. The mappings may differ in some cases from the original list of Swadesh, as we had problems to identify some meanings unambiguously from the glosses (for RAIN, for example, no further specification was given). The list was provided in WORD format in the supplementary material of the study and turned out to be corrupted by space characters inserted inside almost all words including the numbers. These spaces were deliberately deleted in our version, to allow for a convenient inspection of the list.
