Eirrv is such a better word for river that I'm retconning the English language

Feels like some new age Sindarin. I’m here for it tbh.

If you're on this sub, this is a good programming exercise for you if you're interested. I'm sure there are plenty of large lists of words in English, that should provide all the data needed.

There are massive lists, the search is English words corpus

https://www.english-corpora.org/ is an excellent starting place
