There are a lot of colorful phrases for consideration in that list. Louis
and Carl are to be thanked for bringing an older contribution to a
newer generation. And Karl's control of German-English idiom is a nice
contribution all on its own.

On the otherhand, there still remains the issue for those starting to
work on the language as to appropriate ways to speak and
especially for the first century.

For example,
starting at the end of the list without a good reason, I notice
PAYE PAYE   παυε παυε  stop! stop!

There is nothing wrong with the Greek.
Though it would be more idiomatic to say
PAYOY (POIWN) or PAYSAI. παυου παυου (ποιων) η παυσαι παυσαι (αυτο)

Students will need some help in evaluating the appropriateness of the
many varied suggestions.

nevertheless, there is a lot of great stuff here.
