Cognates, etc.

The lists are useful in giving an overview of cognates that descend from a common Slavic form, and can be compared to Appendix:List of Proto-Indo-European nouns. We already have another list that lists words with the same meaning, Appendix:Swadesh lists for Slavic languages. I don't think putting the meanings in the table would really be helpful since the purpose isn't to show meanings but just to show the forms of the words themselves. It would also clutter up the table and make it harder to read. On the other hand, we do list meanings on Proto-Slavic entries if they differ notably from the original meaning.
