Actually, according to Webster's Collegiate (http:/m-w.com)

brow: 1b. Forehead

The mebri is the part of the head between the eyebrows and the hairline. Perhaps you are thinking about "eyebrow", which is not the same thing?

tupcidni for knee is fine (usually tuple is thought of as the default x2 because of the English gloss forcidni, but there is nothing wrong with a specific word)

For palm, I'd probably say xancra, although I wonder if that's not culturally neutral?

I like slamycanti..

brow and forehead are different things. What is {mebri}?

ankle = jmacidni
elbow = bircidni

knee = tupcidni ?

And how to say "palm"?

Please reply or I won't wait for you and make lujvo/zi'evla or even gismu (zo'oru'e but still).

For stomach I'll go with {stomaxu}. Ancient lojbanists couldn't know that it is actually a {slamycanti} (they had no idea of how the food is digested).
