>>>>>Found another two missing words in English yesterday: "trudnica" (pregnant woman) and "bolesnik" (ill person). Note that the latter is not the same as patient, because patient is a party in a treatment process; "bolesnik" is just ill, no treatment implied. From "bolest" - disease, "bolestan" - ill.

>"Izuti" means "take the shoes off". "Lim" is sheet metal; "limar" is the sheet metal worker. "Izuj limara" (verb in imperative form) can't be translated shorter than "take the shoes off the metal sheet worker". There were about a dozen participants, and that was the shortest they could come up with.

That's a song by Borat, isn't it? :-)

Hey, you've got me there! However, I should have said "... a succinct, short USEFUL word...", that being an expression I can more or less guarantee I'll never have to use in my life.

However(2) The verb "to shoe" is to put the shoes on (someone/thing), so UI expect to unshoe is the opposite. As fow the worker, I imagine there's a shorter, colloguial name for one, say a "sheety", so I expect someone who may have to use the expression would probably say "unshoe the sheety" - 5 syllables, the same :-)
