Those of you who have been in my threads have doubtless seen that I'm willing to make up Gallifreyan words at a drop of the proverbial hat. So, for those who are interested, here are the ones I've created so far (that I can remember the meaning of). If you invent a few as well, feel free to post them here so we can add them.

Ailla addresses the Valeyard as "Adonai", which we have head-canoned as the respectful Gallifreyan term for "honoured father".

I feel the need to drop in to point out that "valeyard" is, in fact, the series' only canon word of spoken Gallifreyan! It's defined as meaning "learnèd court prosecutor" (not, as fandom sometimes says, "Doctor of law" - although I suppose one could extrapolate that "learnèd" indicates post-grad study and they mean the same on Gallifrey).
