I don't have a word for "eye" or "head", and my dictionary file
only has a little over 2000 entries, but, I find, I do have a
word for "woodlouse": ighghi.

ifba    feint, dry run, mime; make as to do X, without actually
        doing X
iffila  dragonfly
ighghi  woodlouse
ighmeje lamb [young sheep]
igkhwob "a specific but randomly-chosen illustrative example,
        serving the communicative function of a bound variable
        in some hypothetical proposition" [WHAT?!]

--And.
