L words expanded in S

The following list includes all the L words that consist of only a classifier and POS.  The S words marked "! mods" have a modifier added.  "! class" marks S words that have a different classifier (deictic or modal) from L.  In many cases the S word has no additional modifier, because the L base word has essentially the same meaning as the classifier.
