Gosh, if only there were some international union of pure and applied chemistry, composed of experts from all over the world, who could invent such a nomenclature. We could just use names like, oh, "methyl (1R,2R,3S,5S)-3-(benzoyloxy)-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1] octane-2-carboxylate". Except that's in English, so Lojbanize it and you get "metil (1R,2R,3S,5S)-3-(benzoilaksi)-8-metil-8-azabisaiklo[3.2.1] aktein-2-karbaksileit". But wait, that might not be a valid fu'ivla.
