Part of the reason for lujvo existing is to have novel words that can be understood readily on the fly.  Make up your own lujvo and use them.  If people don't understand your intent, they can ask for clarification.  If other people start using your lujvo, then they can be added to the dictionary.  
You can add new words to the dictionary first, but then they may never be used.
