Covered this in previous thread true. Amarr are a bit tricky and blurry to pin down with the 'racial language' theme, because none of their root languages are even remotely reminiscient of the 'holy roman empire' vibe that their ships project, instead they do a Charlemagne and try and take bits from the holy roman empire to try and get a bit more social stability but their roots are Abrahamic religion and Semitic languages.
So while you may argue that you have ships named 'paladin' or 'inquisitor', they should really be named after Hebrew or Arabic words. The all latin all the time is largely a creation of the players.
Essentially, on a superficial first glance, your list looks correct however when you dig a little bit deeper it is hilariously wrong for the languages that the Amarr would actually use.

There are a few latin words that pop up, but when we look at actually important words like "Sefrim" or "Imud Hubrau" we come to Hebrew and Arabic words like "Seraphim".
As I said, I am more supportive of your suggestions. I love the lore so things that play to that and give context and theatics titles appeal to me more so. I was posting the previous threads lists simply to represent what I think Syven means....
Generic, kind of boring, lack lustre names.
And yes I am aware that the Amarr would use something very unlike latin. Having read over a number of discussion by very wellk supported and well argued stances I have come to think that the Amarr woudl infact use a base language more like Castillian Spanish or Judeo Spanish with roots in Aramic, Semetic, and Turkish variations.
However that being said Castillian Spanish doesn't really cover the same overt Persian and Judaic trends I'm sure you can find in the language.
