This page lists the current set [α] of Proto-Drake Roots! If you find incongruities, bug me about them.

Sorting order! Letters are sorted as if they had no accents then ordered when they do, e.g. a and ä sort together, but when an a word and an ä word are otherwise identical, the a word comes first. Glottal stop sorts as Q!

Funky characters! Everything here is encoded with their ordinary unicode codes, except for the lateral fricative, represented with K.

Root rot! Roots whose meanings are in gray are expected but not found, i.e. dead roots.

Numbers? The numbers are randomly generated and mark what shows up in my descendants of Proto-Drake (i.e., what ends up in the common dragon language.) An related language branch, if it wanted to, might use a different subset of these roots, but I use 20-99. (You may notice these are the non-gray ones. Yee.)
