Which is, incidently, one of the reasons I dislike many auxlangs.
Esperanto is the only one I know of with a lot of room for coining and and
with a supply of synonyms.
That's not meant to imply that there aren't others -- if there are, I want
to hear about them. Also, in the above post, I didn't mean any sort of
disdain of Hebrew at all. I actually think Hebrew is one of the most
beautiful languages on Earth.
