2. pol = a word with a different, but related sense to an original word, e.g., bűþa, i.v. beat < bűþa, i.v. throb, beat.
3. These words are not numbered, as only original roots are numbered
4. Instruments in red were not available in Sefdaania.
5. There are 16 root words (lemmata) of which two are verbs and none are adjectives which can be treated as stative verbs. Thus 13 percent of the vocabulary is verbs.
