Wierzbicka's Semantic Primitives

Because Pat Dunn was asking after small sets of vocab.

These are taken from Anna Wierzbicka's _Semantics: Primes and Univerals_.

Please note that many of these words, considered as semantic primitives,
have a much narrower meaning than their regular polysemous English
meanings.  And some require a bit of elaboration from Wierzbicka's book,
which I recommend everyone read and love and hate, especially people
with an interest in lexicography.
