I recommend that you not make up your own words for everyday use. If you
need to talk about a library, say, HaDmeH qach, or De' choqbogh yej'an or
paq nojbogh yaH or whatever is relevant. The only time I make up words is
when I'm writing a story, the same condition under which I would make up
English words, really. There's a big bookstore down the street from me,
but I don't call it a bookarium or a booksuperbuilding. I call it a big
bookstore.
