valarltdOkay, so I have an Israeli character.
At one crucial juncture, he reveals his feelings for his lover by calling him some Hebrew endearment
As it stands, I have "yedidi."
I don't expect "Ani ohev otcha" (I love you, m/m form).
Is there one that doesn't sound as odd? as reminescent of diddle and yeti and Dee Dee and all sorts of other things?
yakiri? (darling)
ahuvi? (my love)
or even achi? (my brother
Would these work better? Do they have connotations I should know about?

the story is...complicated.
I went with ahuvi since that sounds the best to my English/Spanish/French/German/Gaelic speaking ears
