Appendix talk:Hokkien Swadesh list

2, in the case of '兩'is not a cardinal number
overhaul needed[edit]
A lot of the entries need paring down. No need to be including bookish synonyms which are in most cases just Mandarin or Hanbun. All that goes away from the whole point of the Swadesh list. The Thai list is a good model. Much more useful for what it is.
Also, WIDE / BROAD is 'khoah'（濶）, not *khoan（寬）. Glaring mistake, and probably not unrelated to the other problem I just talked about. I "sympathize" because I also started learning Hoklo from a position of underestimating how different it was from other "Chinese" languages.
