This is stable sublist of a basic list of Wang 2004 200. The basic 200-item list is supposed to be identical with the Swadesh 1952 200, but it is more likely that it is taken from the list by Chen 1996 200, since the compilers explicitly refer to Chen's work and also translate «dull» as «stupid» in the Chinese list. For the application of the stable list to the Chinese dialects, the compilors further reduce the stable list to a Wang 2004 95, based on a morphological criterion by which no compound words should occur in the data.
