This community is bizarre and probably the most genuine one I’ve stumbled upon. How do I consistently get more comments then updoots here?
Smurf yeah we can.

The simple answer to your question is no. Language is as much about distinction and exclusion as it is about description. The word “circle” stands for the description and properties of the circle, but would be incoherent if it did not also exclude straight lines.
You can often find examples where some things are considered premium or desirable not for the properties is has, but for what it lacks. Just think of all the products marketed to not have something like BPA, fat, sugar, Carbs, gluten, asbestos, lead, and even cruelty.

There’s a sci-fi movie from USSR, “Kin-dza-dza”. The natives of another planet in another galaxy were telepathes, but used language consisting of only a few words. “Koo” was for almost any word, “kiu” for swearing, “ketse” for matches (most valuable asset) and a few more. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kin-dza-dza!

Let me introduce you to Goptjaam, probably the closest “language” that fits what you mean: https://youtu.be/ze5i_e_ryTk
Theoretically, yes. In practice, no. Suppose
bla
becomes a everything word. If anyone asks whatbla
means, you say it meansbla
. The other person won’t understand, you persist onbla bla bla
meaningbla means bla, by which bla can mean anything
and you realize that it just doesn’t work, because if it “means anything”, in reality it means nothing.
