[Lexicog] rules when it comes to latin word roots

[Dr. Hayim Y. Sheynin]

Dear Arun,

I think you are occupied with a futile interests.
The new words appear only in two circumstances:
1. When a need for a new word, because there is a new thing or concept.
2. The poetic innovation for better expressibility (literary neologisms).

Otherwise it is possible to create thousands new words and they will not be accepted by the users of a particular language.

What is your native language?

Best wishes,
Dr. Hayim Y. Sheynin

Ok, I'm not quite sure I understood your reply. I'm just a person who 
is fond of creating new words. As such I think its evident that I 
don't have a knowledge of lexicography. I've several questions about 
constructing new words as such. So, the wrd root nub- combined with -
ile is nubile, which is an adj; hence is this true that with every 
such root can be converted into an adj? This must be a stupid 
question. I mean is it really possible to makes adjs like that?
