There’s a process of transliteration/loaning that you can do if you want to import words from foreign languages. They’re slightly firewalled form the rest of the language (they’re not first-class content words), but because you can talk about a “jan Mewika” for an American, maybe it’s a bit disingenuous to talk about it having just 120 words :P
As for how my device supports words not on the list because as you smartly noted it’s optimised to the vocabulary size so how do you add randomo loan words? Thankfully the hieroglyphic display orthography I’m using has the same problem. The solution is to do it nato-alphabet style, and put the loaned word in a cartouche. Which is very labour-intensive to read as well as to write.
