Eva:
Thanks.

In looking at the list, many of the words are compound lexemes, i.e. two or
more words work together to give the full meaning. For example, the first on
the list was )ZN to give ear, translated as "give good heed" or in modern
English, to listen well with the emphasis on the listening. The second was
B#R meaning to report, often being a good report.

Some words were listed because some translator translated it … frankly
wrongly. For example, HN is a variant of HNH, meaning behold! or K$RWN
meaning profit or profitability.

I found it hard to believe that there would be 27 words with the simple
meaning "good". If you analyze each word carefully, you will see that there
are far fewer words meaning "good" than your initial search would seem to
indicate.
