Regarding query: http://www.linguistlist.org/issues/17/17-1778.html#2

Thank you for all the replies to my query regarding Ancient Hebrew and
Greek Swadesh lists.

In summary:
***
Alice Faber wrote that "Chaim Rabin had a Swadesh list for Hebrew and related
languages in his 1975 paper 'Lexicostatistics and the Internal Divisions of
Semitic', in the volume Hamito-Semitica, edited by James and Theodora Bynon,
Mouton (pp. 85-102)"

Israel Cohen listed a number of searchable online Hebrew and Greek sites based
on Strong's numbers:

These are:

http://www.Crosswalk.com (or bible.crosswalk.com/Lexicons/Hebrew if you know the
number).  Words with no hyperlink cannot be directly lined to the
interlinearised bible Here: http://bible.crosswalk.com/InterlinearBible/

http://www.htmlbible.com/sacrednamebiblecom/kjvstrongs/STRINDEX.htm

http://www.eliyah.com/lexicon.html - searchable by Hebrew, Greek or English word

http://www.studylight.org/lex/heb/

the Hermes and Aphrodite anthropomorphic maps at the BPMaps website

***
Dr Ghil`ad Zuckermann has compiled a Hebrew Swadesh 100 list
***

Of all these I would recommend http://www.eliyah.com/lexicon.html as the best
online resource. There is no advertising so the pages load very quickly and the
glosses are good. I am in the process of compiling Hebrew and Greek Swadesh 200
lists based on Robert Blust's system. I can make it available upon request in
the form of a fairly primitive excel spreadsheet. 

Thanks again,

Piers Kelly.
