  • All words are given in the simplified orthography, using <p t k> instead of <ph th kh>.
  • Items marked with a star* were already present in the original language description by ebilein.
  • The citation form of verbs is the present indicative plural. Verbal stems are always given as well, even if they do not differ from the citation form. In contrast, verbal nouns are given only if they differ from STEM+SUFFIX -jĕn. Voicing alternations of verbal stems are regular and therefore not included.
