Re: Bootstrapping a cooperative conlang

Agreed. The list and the words in the list were just pulled off the
top of my
head as I composed the original post, and were in no way meant to be
"the real
thing". It's far too early in the thought process to cast anything in
concrete.

For more ideas, you can check out the list I use for Kelenala:

<http://dedalvs.free.fr/kelenala/wordlist.html>

It's a list, not the list.  I've come to accept some of the ambiguities
of the list (a word for hand, arm and leg, but not foot), and
purposely included words I didn't want  to create compounds
for (e.g., chocolate).  If you cut all those (and the expressions)
out, it can give you some ideas of what's needed and what isn't.

I'll also go ahead and give you the one for KNSL, since it has
a few more words on it:
