Wow, where did you find such a list, Frank ?!?! haha don't tell me you wrote it yourself, I wouldn't believe you ;-)
(It probably contains more than a dozen of words that I don't even know)
Oh, here is another one: "pelleu", a purely Swiss word for "pebble". That's the only one I could think of that was not already on the list :-)

Just noticed that "lieu" wasn't on the list.

As stated before, this is just a partial list with some random words I cherrypicked. I had to type it manually while looking at a dictionary (an electronic one, but without any way to copy/paste) and it was long and boring enough.

That's not surprising-- some of these words are hugely rare (and there are a few of them that at this moment in time I have absolutely no conception of their meanings-- perhaps Frank when you get chance you might like to tell us what your dictionary says some of the more exotic ones mean?).

Hi Frank,
It was really nice of you to suppy all this info.
Can you tell me how you zero-ed in on how to find words by their endings?
Just found a site that promises that one will be able to determine gender with endings.
It has become a new hobby for me to collect these words when I run across them -- but there must be a faster way.
