Canon and non-canon scenes?

*crinkles nose* Where? I've watched the movie a couple of times, with subtitles, and I've never seen it.

And like HNM has said - not having the word doesn't mean they don't have the concept, anyway. So, in my stories, maybe I will have them not have a word that directly translates as lie, but they sure as hell have the concept. I cannot fathom a complex society of sapient beings that cannot understand what the average four-year-old human child does. Hell, what a number of animal species on Earth understand, even if they lack the language to explain it. Sounding a warning alarm so the troop will scatter so that they can pick up the best fruit, as an example.
