This message is pretty much for Kevin and others interested in the word
lists.

I assume that by Not in LFN, you mean not in the basic word list I
suggested.  I found that some words were actually in the list (see the
?), some were in the list under different spellings (some errors mine),
some were derivatives of words in my list, and, of course, many were in
fact not in my list.

I am really starting to think that a 500 or 1000 word list is not really
a worthwhile goal for pijin.  (It is certainly a worthwhile goal for the
construction of a lfn or pijin dictionary, but that is another
project!)  Perhaps making a textbook introducing words one chapter at a
time is the better approach, and so we should be looking not for an
"ultimate" list, but a series of lists of 20 (50?) words with the most
useful in the first list, and so on.
