[Lexicog] Re: Coinages

[Rudolph Troike]

I heard from Robert Cooper some years ago that a study had compared the
entries in a dictionary of Hebrew published around 1924 with current usage
(I'm not sure whether it was a general dictionary or a technical one), and
found that only about 40% of the words proposed in the dictionary were
actually being used in the 1970s.
