Notes

1. cpd = a compound of two or more roots, e.g., t̨űmo, thousand + re̋no, step = t̨umre̋na, mile.
2. pol = a word with a different, but related sense to an original word, e.g., ƥa̋ra, 1 cm., 0.4 in. [< ƥa̋ro, finger].
3. These words are not numbered, as only original roots are numbered.
4. There are 44 root words (lemmata) of which two are verbs and none is an adjective which can be treated as a stative verb. Thus .05 percent of the vocabulary is verbs.
5. Words in red indicate conditions or diseases not found in Sefdaania.
