Explanation

'Veranderende' (changing) is a more neutral term for 'variable'. It describes the *potential* for change without implying it's always changing. It's also a more common adjective form in Afrikaans.

Issue breakdown

accuracy While 'veranderlike' means 'changeable', it strongly emphasizes *mutability*. A variable isn't *always* mutable. A 'const' variable is still a variable.
specificity Too strongly implies mutability.
