Seems like it.

Unless the setting requires latin, I would sugest something a little less c=
ommonplace. Because almost all of the above words are familiar looking to a=
n english-speaker, it doesn't seem to secret.
Anyway, at least to my ears, the above translations are far from evil-sound=
ing. Old english comes to mind, I think there's people here who can compose=
in it.
