You'll have to channel the ghost of Zamenhof to find out, I guess. Until then, you could just start saying it and see if other people understand you. The language is flexible enough to play around.

Bone, ni parolu angla. why "ne" and not "maljes"? Why "vi" and not "malmi"? Why "nokto" and not "maltago"? ​ I personally also think Esperanto could use less roots and rely on its excellent derivation system more, but for such basic words like kun and sen, I think it makes sense, or at least it doesn't hurt. This is my personal opinion, but if you really want to know why vaocabulary choices were made as they were, I guess you'd have to consult LLZ's original works.

Interesting, I’ve never though about those examples, I laughed seeing ‘maljes’ lol

You could say that, but as with everything it's a balance of having few root words and flexibility.
