Both are stupid.
New words evolve cos they fill a gap or are shorter than the words they're derived from.
Adding -al to a word makes it longer and thus of less use in the modern as we strain to shorten all interactions in nothing more than a string of consonants.
But good luck with your word lengthening experiment.
