Glosa 1000

This is a larger vocabulary of about 1500 words. These words were taken from previous Glosa 1000 lists.

The small i indicates that the word (perhaps with a different spelling) was found in Hogben's original vocabulary.

Therefore 1000 words seem to be the logically sized vocabulary for a constructed international language. _Plu lingua dona-sko-pe pa detekti; kron plu xeno-lingua gene-sko-pe gene u tekno de 1000 numera verba-fa, mu pote dice per simpli mode ko plu plus homi de u-la lingua.
