May I ask what do would need a list of these words for?

Here is it in my conlangs:

                 Fire             Water
Fukhian:         /XOd/            /XEm/

Tyl Sjok:        /nu?u/           /ak/ (cold), /kik/ (warm, hot, boiled)

Qthyn|gai:       /|\*k*/ (root)   /N*h*/   (root)
                 no stem yet      /N*hu_F/ (stem)

   Here, * represents a missing vowel (e.g. one inserted by morphology).
   Roots have very vague meanings and by inserting a vowel, stems are
   formed.  These the stem are the main atomic lexicon entries.  I gave
   the roots only because I have to stem yet for "fire".

Da Mätz se Basa: no "fire" yet    /suj)/ from |shui3| (Mandarin)
