I've been using the online glossary and just ordered the basic book but I have a few questions and requests: I'm certainly still not up to speed with grammar (gerna gen?)
 
  "gerna" is the word. "gen" is the rafsi (affix) form, used in making compounds.
 
, but hopefully that will come as I move forward:

I couldn't find words for the following english words:
locust

jalra is the general term that includes locusts.  I suppose if you wanted to be more specific, you could call it a gruspojalra (a "grain destroying orthopteran")

 

auquatic

  djacu works just fine.  If you mean living in the water, might I suggest jacyxa'u
 

sperm

  sovda means not only egg, but sperm.  If you need to distinguish, nakso'a would be sperm as opposed to egg.
 

lobe (as in ear)

  Perhaps kerdandu (ear hanging thing)
 

I think that aquatic might be limna jau (from "swims in water"), but I'm not sure of the construction rules yet.

  "jau" to mean water can't stand alone/  Affix forms have to be part of bigger words.l   By itself, "jau" means 13 (hex digit D)
 
   Hope this helps....
