I do not see why the 'alma'=young woman definition belongs here. The comment by Nagomiya says that it is an 'extra reference' but a reference for what? The word clearly is not being used in that way here. If it's just 'what the word alma means in languages', then why not have the Italian 'alma', soul? That comment also said that the Aramaic word is 'the exact definition'; I am not sure why that matters, since regardless of definition the word itself is different. If the exact definition was what mattered, we could take words from any language. The point of a note like that is to let the reader know what language is being referenced; it seems like the answer is 'none of them.' There seems to be a fixation with translating Sarkaz words as Hebrew or Semitic languages, as well, and I am not sure what the basis of that is; Closure's line in Hebrew was corrected to just say "Sarkaz language" and if any language has significance to them, it seems to be Latin, given the Confessari, Theresa, Theresis, and Shining's theme being a Latin hymn. That in mind - and taking into account that to my knowledge the Sarkaz language has always been written as 'Sarkaz Language' in the original version of Arknights - there seems to me no point to bring Hebrew into this.

Reply: To begin with, alma עלמא is an Aramaic word, not Latin, and that "alma" in Hebrew means young woman because the world is like a woman giving birth to lives, and its Latin version means "life, soul." The world, alma, is life and a young woman. Besides, many old Sarkaz names (I repeat, old Sarkaz) does not sound Latin or European at all (not to say Yiddish). Patriot's father, for example, is Hor-Tekrz, and hor means "mountain" in Hebrew הר (I just need to ask my Hebrew speaking consultant for the possible meaning for Tekrz). Latin is just that they are close to Christian elements as well like the Sankta (Need not to say they are basically a Jewish-Christian split), but their Judaistic elements should not be neglected. Besides, do you really understand Jewish history? Have you sought consultation from a Hebrew speaker?
