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".

But we already have {betfu} for that with a different meaning, arent we?
 
.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.
