I have a page on one of my sites that might help.  Try this URL;
http://www.fortunecity.com/rivendell/everquest/624/combine.html
This is a combined list of the vocabularies of BASIC English and
Essential World English.  It has 1667 entries although some are
duplicates.  I have needed to clean it up for several years but
never quite get around to it.
Hope that helps,
