I'm not suggesting that we should remove any overlapping gismu.
I'm simply stating that Lojban does have some semanic primitives in it
already, from which a lot of the more complex ideas can be created.
The whole purpose of lujvo is that, isn't it? complex-word?

When we encounter a new idea that can't be readily expressed by a
lujvo, then it shold be assigned a gismu if only the concept is deemed
universal enough. A skilled lojbanist should be confortable with *all*
the gismu, which is why that list shouldn't be extended at all if
possible. Any new ideas that deserve single words, but that aren't
important enough, should be added in the form of zi'evla because the
morphological properties of these words signal to the listener that
the word isn't one that he or she should necessary already know. Then
ensues the [ki'a]-phase, after which the speaker can give some kind
explanation using gismu. Skilled lojbanists would also know all the
rafsi, such that unknown, new lujvo (not necessarily ad hoc ones) can
be at least somewhat understood without having to break the flow of
speech with a ki'a, as is probably necessary for new zi'evla.
