L words reduced in S

The following list contains words that in L have a modifier and in S don't have a modifier.  In most cases the L modifier is "bye-".  The exceptions follow.  Note that "nesi" (equipment, gear) [libyefusi] is the plural of "nes" (tool, instrument) [bufusi, NOT byefusi (device, implement) [nebis].  The other main reason for reducing the L word in S is that some new S classifiers often make the L modifiers unnecessary.
