Having some difficulties with the Latin language. I have need of two phrases, terms or names. Any help would be much appreciated!
A name of a place (noun): "Castle of Life and Death" How to say this in Latin as a name of a place?
Closest I can come to is: "Castellum of Vita and Letum" or "Moenia of Vita quod Nex"
The next is an entity "Most Beloved One" as a reference to one person.
"carus Unus" ?
Also it would be a huge help to me to know how to use words such as (and, the, of, as,) etc., *prepositions* in the Latin language in simple sentences. I mean what are they and are they used differently from other languages? If I recall correctly I was told that the English language uses too many unnecessary words which seems about right so I am having difficulty knowing when words above would be used or not used.
Thanks in advance and forgive me if my question is confusing.

Verified answer
"Castellum vitae mortisque"
OR
"Castellum vitae et mortis"
would be the abslolute literal meaning.
vitae=genitive singular of VITA (life)
mortis=genitive singular of MORS (death)
que=enclitic (and)
et=and
"Carissimus" is an adjective, but could possibly be used as a "substantive adjective."
