There're probably more than 340 semantic primitives in Lojban,

How do you define a semantic primitive? Acco= rding to NSM, there are only about 63 semantic primitives.

stevo
=A0
but
it's highly likely that all the other more complex gismu *can* be
reduced into a much smaller set of "core" gismu. Then, in my opin= ion,
gismu should only be added at this point if that new concept is not
readily expressible as a combination of preexisting gismu and is a
very universal concept. If the concept is not universal, then it
should merit a zi'evla, because all skilled lojbanists should be
expected to know at least the whole gimste.

Note that I've already said all of the second part of that.
