Goofs
(2016 remastered original, English subtitles.) According to Terr, one week in a Draag's life is as long as one Om (human) year. But he also says that his owner Tiwa (the Draag that raised Terr from infancy) loses interest in Terr "as she grew into her teens". By that time Terr would almost certainly be in his late middle years, at the very least -- yet Terr appears to be still no older than his twenties.

Quotes
Draag child 1: It doesn't move.
Draag child 2: What a shame we can't play with her any more.

Alternate versions
In the German version, the humans aren't called "Oms", they are simply referred to as Menschen (humans) or Menschen-Tiere (human animals). Terr's name is also given a different origin. In both the original French and English versions, Tiwa names her pet Om Terr because his father says he behaves like a "real terror". In the German dub, Tiwa settles on the name after his father compares her pet to a struggling termite.
