I needed words for stomach, and used cumb, wasit, and used (in lack of imagination) _ agor-chum_, and eyebrows, and used there hen-find, and also thought about hen-laus. I expect you will have some serious opinions on these!

For eyebrows maybe *hendelu

For "waist" I'd probably look for something related to "narrow" or "isthmus", except that derivates of YAT are already associated with "neck" or "bridge". Still.

Neck ach from AK/-AS, lang from LAZ, narrow agor from AK/-RA, lif "link" and lim "swift" from LIM.

Example: C.E. root AK with -ja suffix (I don't really know which suffix might be good for body-parts) akja -> akia -> ekia -> eika -> eike -> eik -> eig -> aig.

How about *iâd 'isthmus, waist' from YAT, cf. gad, râd

Without siffix? So very simple. I like it.
 How did you come up with *hendelu?
