I speak Hebrew so the connection caught my eye at once [:)] I guess my question was, if your conlangs are part of a fictional setting, does Hebrew exist there? It could be a cool alternate history thing.
But I don't want to derail the thread. Can I PM you?

Yes, but TL;DR Hebrew doesn't exist there (at least as a human language), but I want my Conlangs to be "Legitimate Languages" according to my faith's definition.

These are a few words which I created today as I've been translating the Lord's Prayer. I'm also gonna go ahead and do today's words with my Gothic-based orthography rather than the Cyrillic orthography.

Lexember 13th, 14th and 15th:

gri /gri/ · v. to die; n.-FLAT corpse, dead body
/põ/ · n.-AMOR fat; v. to be fat, to be full (of food)
bya /ɓɪə̯/ · v. to cut, to slice (esp. meat)

(You might see a familiar character above. It and the related one just shifted meanings a bit, and sort of reversed their roles. Honestly, they might still shift somewhat as I am not 100% on this new version of their meanings.)

Lexember 15th

númelor [ˈnuːməlɔ̈d̟] - house personnel

Etymology: from num (house, housing place) + tivelor (personnel)

Usage note: númelor is singular, i.e. only marks one house person. The collective noun that translates to "personnel" would be númeloró.

Reo ifran! Ciftreiasu iu lovmei sao rédovo. Nabturmedas reo númeloran.
