How to say "list" in Japanese

- 傾きかたむきnounNot a written list at all: this word means slope or inclination, the tilt of something. Its 'list' is the nautical sense of a ship leaning over to one side.
- 列記れっきnoun, suru verb, transitive verbCovers 'list' in the sense of enumeration: setting items down one by one. It suits a document or written text that enumerates points or items, rather than everyday lists of things to do.
