According to the author, this list is taken from Gudschinsky 1956 200, but since Gudschinsky only has 200 items, the lists are not completely identical, and it seems more that it follows Comrie 1977 207 which was, to our knowledge, the first list that merged the Swadesh 1952 200 and Swadesh 1955 100 list of Swadesh (1952, 1955) to 207 items. This list is presented in a introductory textbook for historical linguistics as an example for the method of glottochronology and lexicostatistics. The words of the Trask 1996 100 in the same book, taken from Swadesh (1955), are given in bold face in the text, and in starred form in our source.
