These restrictions minimize the likelihood of peripheral vocabulary and random coincidences getting into the reconstruction. The methodology of such a search for obtaining implied list of concepts is described in details. The resulting Swadesh list of 207 concepts is presented with a link to the work materials. Since, under such strict restrictions, it was still possible to deduce the entire list (complex cases are considered in details), there is a reason to think that it is possible to reconstruct “core PIE” 1 Дмитрий Михайлович Быстров – основатель информационного сайта «Орфовики» (http://орфография.орг/) и проекта «Плановый русский язык».
