Basic Vocabulary/plaintext

 **NOTE** Roger Mills passed away ripe in years in 2015 
 so no more questions can be directed to him.
 As of November 2016 his website is still around.
 It is well worth a visit!  --- bpj

 This wordlist was originally devised by Roger
 Mills <http://cinduworld.tripod.com/contents.htm>
 for comparative research in Indonesia. Any
 questions may be addressed to Roger by email at
 <[email protected]>.  It was digitalized by Benct
 Philip Jonsson <http://melroch.se>. Questions
 about the English-only version should be addressed
 to him at <[email protected]>.
 
 This file was formatted so that lines containing
 the actual words begin with an arabic numeral
 followed by a period followed by a tab followed by
 the word. If you want a list of just the words
 without the headings and numbers and have perl
 installed you may just copy the text of the page
 from the edit box to a text file and use the
 following oneliner to get a bare list of all the
 words:
 
   perl -nle 'if(/\d\.\s/){($n,$w) = split /\.\s/; print $w; }' rmills-basic-vocabulary >words.txt
