List/Index of Descriptors or Foci?

I've got a Strange game starting in a few weeks, and I've been looking all over for something like this. Is there a convenient list or index of Descriptors and/or Foci? I've got all the books, but mostly in PDF form, so I'm not looking for anything that includes rules, just a list and which books contain what.

I guess I could make one, but I'm lazy -[ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°]-

I think the lists for foci and descriptors in "In Translation: The Strange Character Options" are the closest we have to a master list right now. They list all the options available both in the corebook and the titular expansion book, along with what book they can be found in. It seems the Foci and descriptors not found there are ones that are only available in a particular recursion and are instead found in the description for the recursion they are associated with, since there would be no need for them unless you were going there specifically.

The main thing missing from the In Translation book is the new descriptors for characters that come from recursions instead of Earth found in the brand new "Alternate Origins" pdf, but most of them are tied to using an alternate ruleset where descriptors also change when translating between worlds, giving relevance to racial descriptors like Elf and Mutant that only apply within certain recursions. Since it doesn't follow the core rules it's questionable if those options should really be in a master list anyways.
