I have read all of them (and have a complete set in pb). You are correct, there are several other races: black humanoids (south pole), yellow humanoids (north pole), the "holy thurns" (who as I recall are pasty-white?) and the intelligent spiders that ride headless humanoid bodies like vehicles... **fortunately** there is no need to devise lojban names for all those others!
