IMO:
* 'viridofolia' should be 'viridifolia'
* 'chirography' should be 'chirograph' (which is, incidentally, a real word, for a specialized type of manuscript -- so 'manuscript' and 'chirograph' would basically switch places!)
* 'multierasty' should probably be 'multerasty'

You have library in english that becomes bibliothèque (french) or biblioteca (spanish)

Bibliotek is also Swedish for library. I guess bibliolies are the norm and library is an offlier in indo-european languages? Too lazy to check atm.

"Library" goes back to Latin "librarium", meaning "bookcase" or "chest for books"; in the Romance languages, the meaning shifted to "bookshop"/"bookstore". "Bibliotheque" goes back to an Ancient Greek word "βιβλιοθήκη" (bibliothḗkē), meaning "bookcase" or "library". I believe French is responsible for spreading the word "bibliotheque" around Europe.
