The gismu are not semantic primitives, nor were they meant to be. You
can speak a lot more succinctly with more of them; in fact, given the
morphological constraints and the desire to keep the vocabulary
(including common lujvo, used more often given the limits on gismu
colliding with one another) from being so huge nobody can plausibly
remember it all, the set we have now may be nearly [i]maximal[/i].
