How would a language like this survive a change in ontology? You take a category and split it into 5 subcategories. What if two years later you find out that a sixth subcategory exists?
If you update the language, you would have to rewrite all existing texts. The problem would not be that they contain archaic words—it would be that all the words are still used, but now they mean something different.
Seemingly similar words (prepending one syllable to a long word or a sentence) will result in a wildly different meaning.
