"groin" is "plibu", though the terms are distinct in English, and the plibu of 
an insect is not the groin.

I think "galbirka" for "forearm" is wrong, as then "galtuple" ("upper leg") 
would be "lower leg". I'm thinking "jbibirka/darbirka". Anyone else have a 
suggestion?

"befyba'a" is better for "belly button", as some people don't have holes 
there.
