A detailed list will have to wait (I'm about to eat lunch!), but in short, the first syllable (or two) describes the kind of car:

KI = diesel motorized, MO=electric motorized, SA=trailer, KU=cab car; with passenger cars, it describes the weight of the car.

The final syllable (or two) describes the accommodation kind: HA=regular, class RO=green car, NE=sleeper; also, FU at the end means there is a brakeman's compartment.
