Notes

1. afx = affix, either a prefix or a suffix added to a root, e.g., l̨őmlu, archer, Sagittarius < l̨őma, draw a bow.
2. cpd = a compound of two or more roots, e.g., huro, water, + ża̋vde, snake = hurża̋vde, Hydra.
3. pol = a word with a different, but related sense to an original root, e.g., kőde, crescent moon < kőda, t.v. cut with a sickle.
4. These words are not numbered, as only original roots are numbered.
5. At the end is a legend, Total: 12/0+0/0%. This means that there are 12 root words (lemmata) of which 12 are verbs and none are adjectives which can be treated as stative verbs. The last number means that zero percent of the vocabulary is verbs.
