Simple enough. What words do you feel are absolutely necessary to convey any information? (Other than the semantic primes.)

I'm looking for a human sourced name, preferably scientific sounding, something we would call them if we made a name for them. They are large amoeba like single celled organisms, they are filled with bioluminescent particles they use to communicate. They are intelligent and space-faring. ​feel free to ask questions if you need more info. Thanks for the help!

I've been trying to figure out a logographic system based on parts tgat each represent a concept, like good, bad, object, idea, etc.... What would be the easiest way to make a decently comprehensive language out of as few parts as possible, maybe 100 or so small parts? Any help would be appreciated.
