Did I miss something? The freeze period ends five years after the last determinative book is published. We have one down, one being or two roughed out, one being talked about and several not even in discussion (indeed, barely described). This does not sound like "coming up" except in the general sense: the end of the world is coming up, when the sun super-novas. (Hyperbole)

structures tell you more about the meaning of the gismu than the
keyword. Please look at the place structure!

No! Please don't! Please look at and translate the place structures.
Ignore the keywords.
