Dear Ian,

 Concerning SWADESH: could you supply us with a list of words, or mention a
web-site where we can get hold of it?

Yes Ingmar, this would be much appreciated :)

As for what a swadesh list is, I think Ron answered that
satisfactorily, but basically: a list of 207 basic words that are
supposed to change more slowly than any other words (this is probably
not the case, but that's the original idea behind it), usually used to
determine the date that two related languages separated from one
another, but also used for more generalised comparitive purposes.

Cheers
Mark
