I added the top 3,020 or so words as of the 2019 update, excluding the obscenities; a few of the interjections; "et" and "al" (et al. isn't really core vocabulary), "trump" (the noun comes mostly from its use as the current president's surname); "GOP" (an organization's name); and "twitter" (mostly used as the name of the social media site). I also left out "quarterback" even though it made the top 3,000, since countries that aren't America won't talk about American football very often, and other planets probably won't talk about it at all.

In soccer, there are not only fullbacks and halfbacks and quarterbacks;
there are also 3/4-backs, 1/8-backs, 3/8-backs, 5/8-backs, and 7/8-backs.

Interesting! I didn't know that.

Considering the universality of soccer on Earth, I'll add a word for quarterback after all. And, considering it's the best-known soccer position, goalie.

@khemehekis: I notice you’ve got various meanings of the (transitive) verb “tackle”.
But do you have any of the noun “tackle”?
Like fishing tackle?
Or block-and-tackle?
Or wedding tackle?

I don't have any of these. I wouldn't consider any of them core vocabulary. They're not very common.

I do have some less common words in the LCV, but those are Part V lists in particular categories. "Adze", for instance, which is not among the 30,000 most common words in English, appears under More Tools, and "longan", not among the top 30,000 in English either, appears under More Plants.

I was reading https://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanalo_(akvovojo) and it says some languages have different words for a navigational canal and other kinds of canals. Does anyone know of a language that makes such a distinction?
