And, another thing : you will never need to define "cinkyfalte"
because cinkyfalte can be the fact that a lion hunts, the fact that
people hunt lions, and even the fact that people hunts using lions as
if they were hunting hounds, or the fact that lions are used a arrows
to hunt birds (!!???)

And the fact that it is more likely the first or second instance than
the third or the fourth comes not from a dictionary structure, but
from enclyclopedic wisdom

That statement is patently false. All Lojbanic words can only have one meaning. While this meaning can and usually is rather vague, a hunting lion and hunting using a lion are different concepts and therefore must be two different words. It is therefore necessary to define which is meant.
