sč̓meptn – Root Word
This list contains identified root word shells. These are root words without a primary vowel. This form contains the core meaning of the root word. Vowels add specific information to this meaning. This list is preliminary and will be updated as needed. Examples will be added as this page grows. Alternate spelling strategies in parenthesis attempt to capture the sound of the pharyngeals, y, and w consonants. Root words with a primary vowel derive base/core meaning from the root shell and the vowel. This list contains 448 root word shells as of 08/06/2023.
