Yes, exactly. And the issue that my meager example fails to demonstrate is 
that "qel" can't always mean "talk about". But in the above sentence it can. 
The idea here is to take existing words and combine them in novel ways, 
possibly very different from those of familiar languages. But of course, 
abandon the possibility of a one-to-one mapping. It'll never happen.
