List numbers are ThePureLanguage's own (www.thepurelanguage.com), counting this list in our alphabetical order by pinyin. They are not the official HSK numbering. A small raised number marks a word the syllabus lists more than once (for different uses). Part of speech is the syllabus's; where it adds a use at a later level, that level is shown after it.
