No, it's not a Pig Latin version of the reindeer names, it's Hebrew. Qal Imperfect Conjugation, to be precise. That's the strong verb paradigm. The weak verb paradigm goes something like this:
Yivneh, Tivneh, Tivneh, Tivni, Evneh, Yivnoo, TivNEHnah, Tivnoo, TivNEHnah, Nivneh.
OR
Yimtzah, Timtzah, Timtzah, Timtza-ee, Ehmtzah, Yimtza-oo, TimTZEHnah, Timtza-oo, TimTZEHnah, Nimtzah
OR
Yayshave, Tayshave, Tayshave, Tayshuhvee, A-shave, Yayshuhvoo, TaySHAVnah, Tayshuhvoo, TaySHAVnah, Nayshave
Dale's life is equally exciting, but his is all numbers, not Hebrew.
However, here, at last, is an interesting fact. The spellchecker for this post is going crazy, underlining almost ALL my Hebrew phonetic words. However, one of the Hebrew words I've written here is NOT underlined because apparently, it's a real word. Can you guess which word it is?

No no, it's not that a-shave is a real word, it's that it's hyphenated. Like this: bladder-muffin is not spell checked, but it's not a real thing. And if it is, I don't want to even think about it...
A bladder-muffin sounds like something the Simpson's spider-pig might like eating...
