I think it probably is enough if there is an escape mechanism for including borrowings: Lojban has about 2000, and it certainly could be leaner if the words were shorter; Lojban has somewhat less, and Gua\spi about the same. All of these have machinery for borrowing, however. -- John Cowan jcowan@reutershealth.com www.ccil.org/~cowan www.reutershealth.com "In computer science, we stand on each other's feet." --Brian K.
