Speaking for myself, my wordlist is almost entirely based on Okrand's
glossary entries (plus a few words mentioned in the body of texts like KGT
which didn't make it into the glossaries). I left the appropriateness of
considering verb+suffix as separate words to him: if he included it
as a separate entry, then so did I.
