Words that don't exist in the English language

I stumbled upon this via emma c. and thought it was quite an interesting little find.
Words that don't exist in the English language
Aren't these little words so neat?! It's like someone thought of a word for every circumstance... like who knew there was a word for the embarrassment you feel watching someone else's humiliation? Or the feeling one gets when realizing something one once had is lost and can never be had again? Sometimes I wish the English language had better words to describe things... Like in the Hebrew language, there are four different main ways to say love (amongst others, i believe) and they all represent different degrees of love (ie. i love my shoes vs. i love her). We English-speaking folks just cannot compete!
