I think GP's point was that your proposed test is too easy for LLMs to tell us much about how they work. The "habogink" thing is a red herring, really, in practice you're simply asking what the opposite of driving nails into wood is. Which is a trivial question for an LLM to answer.

That said, you can teach an LLM as many new words for things as you want and it will use those words naturally, generalizing as needed. Which isn't really a surprise either, given that language is literally the thing that LLMs do best.
