Yes, if they were the right words for the occasion.

I recently commented elsethead on David Brin's using words like
bromopnean and atrichic, for which he probably could have used
"stinky-breathed" and "hairless," at the cost of making the
prose a little less distinctive.

Is someone writing about the vibrissae of an aileuromorph?
Please send a link, if so.
