1. It's designed to combine the words to from relations. Not a lot of words 
are needed because each added potential concept squares the number of 
existing ones. Any concept can be used with any other concept. All of your 
examples do exist in lojban, and are assumed to be from the perspective of 
the person saying it. Even so, they are terrible examples because they have 
no concrete definition even in English.
2. Those can be used with concepts. Traffic is such an abstract word it is 
actually a horrible example. None of those terms have anything in common. 
Traffic has multiple meanings and using it is like using Google Translate 
to speak professionally. You will never get there. The whole idea is to 
remove abstraction and you are bashing it for doing exactly that.
3. Hippopotomonstrososequapedaliaphobia. An actual word in English. What 
was that about long words again?
4. You memorized a lot more when you learned English. What was that about 
everyone being unable to learn new words?
5. Of course they aren't derived. It's not based on a single language. That 
would limit who speaks it.
6. You didn't find the parts because you were too strict in looking and 
didn't bother to look.
