So do we need  gismu for ventral side?
If so I completely lost.

Peeps, what are the terms fro that in the languages that you speak?
I can't find such a word in English ("ventral side of body" doesn't count).

The ventral side is the opposite of the back side: the stomache, chest. In fact, ventral comes from the Latin word for "belly".
 
.e'u if English and other languages lack this word we shoudl remove them from the algorithm and retain the languages that have this concept in a short rootword.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_location#Vertebrate_directional_terms is a bit geeky, but hopefully it helps.
