I didn't know about NSM when I made my post.
I was going along the lines of "basic idea", but I figure that for the
language to actually be productive, there needs to be more than just
63 gismu, which is why I'm all for making new ones, if and only if
it's to get at concepts that are difficult to express with a lujvo and
that are universal enough to not be a zi'evla.
