If those new words each *convey* one stable meaning as they should, there wouldn't be much of a problem. It's ok to have "nanla", "nakyve'a", "citnau", etc. with the same meaning, provided that the meaning can be unambiguously understood. A worse case would be a word with competing and equally-sound definitions. mu'o mi'e tijlan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
