Even with just three vowels and lenght distinction the conlang looks awesome (I'm a man of many vowels)! Oh, the map and script: Great!
P.S.: Welcome to ZBB and have fun conlanging!

Fuck. There's no one word in any other language that can cover all the uses of the English word fuck.

I think the Brazilian slang "foda" and his verbal form "foder" could cover all the meanings of fuck...

Toska and L'Appel du Vide are really interesting, these two and Schadenfreude are my fav on the list (along Saudade, of course).

Now I've readed all the posts with attention I'm thinking how strange is see that other languages don't have a word for saudade, this word is so poetic and deep, emotionally speaking...

Hey! #10, a brazillian one! Well, I think isn't so untraslatable (The word "untraslatable" can, actually, be translated to Brazillian Portuguese as "intraduzível")... #20: "Ter saudades de alguém" can be translated as "to miss someone". The proper "miss" can't be translated as one word onto Brazilli...

Cadhinor recognized as Portuguese? WTF? I was spoken Cadhinorian all that time!

I forgoted the phonemic translation! The pronunciation is /a hu 'pãŋ g-/

Next: to become..., to adopt..., I still don't have a specifically word for "to become" in both of my conlangs, but in Amipala "to become king" is the verb root ahupaŋg- , from ahu "king"+-paŋ(g), suffix that I use for "becoming (noun)" expressions. The present tense ahupaŋgo is used on dicctionari...
