non-PIE germanic lexis

Hey.

A commonly heard claim about Germanic is that a quarter to a third of
its vocabulary can't be traced back to Indo-European roots. I've been
looking on and off for a few months now, but I can't find any place
where it gives more than just a short list of these items. Does anyone
have such a more comprensive list tucked away somewhere? I'd be most
grateful to see it. You can reply to me privately if you wish.
