Oka Oficiala Aldono (8OA): the 187 official roots

All 187 roots made official by Oka Oficiala Aldono (8OA) (1974), alphabetically, with their meaning in English and a link to each dictionary entry.

Counts follow the officiality marks in Reta Vortaro (ReVo); the Academy of Esperanto keeps the official list in its Akademia Vortaro, and its own counts differ by a few roots. Words built from official roots are normal Esperanto even when they are not on any list: see Word building. Academy.
