The senses category lacks smell and taste. There isn't any way to describe flavor beyond sweet or spicy (no salty, or bitter). It's also notable that the language lacks a word for salt, since it's so necessary for survival. The only shapes seem to be line and curve, without any way of talking about angles (especially since leko is considered archaic). There is no way to talk about a small number without calling it a "not big" one, and no way to talk about speed at all. The word death/die lacks an opposite life/live (I've never understood using pan for it). There is a way to talk about giving something, but not taking it. There's a way to talk about desires, but no distinction is made between "want to," "have to," "must," and "will." There are no emotion words besides love.There's no way to talk about age without saying "not new" or using the abolished word majuna. There's no way to talk about communities and basic human institutions beyond "group" (such as "law," "rule," "taboo," or any (non-pata) relationship words beyond "mother/father").
Anyway, all that's just been bugging me for a few years.
