This is an attempt to create a convenient list of the roots and their meanings in English
Proper nouns have been omitted. - and should not be changed, I pity the mailman trying to deliver to "nov jorko"!
This has gotten too large for wiki to save it efficiently in it's entirety so it has now been moved to my site where you can view in a more customized way, and can still contribute to it if you choose to login (ctrl+right-click).
