Yes, the idea is that the Lojban vocabulary is rich enough that anything you want can be said with it. Of course new words will always be added (as in any living language), and with time they may acquire their own subtle connotations, but in principle there is no reason why the meaning of those words should not be explainable with the existing vocabulary, with suitably lengthy explanations if needed. mu'o mi'e xorxes --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= lojban" group.
