This is really interesting. This, along with him saying that they're reborn, gives plenty of credence to the idea that they're returning in a new body every time. 

 

I read it differently, to be honest, but I can't actually say I have more clues than you.

I think they are "repaired" every time when the Desolation is about to start. Their Strings to the physical realm restored and they can actually worldhop again on the physical realm...ready to fight in the Desolations, it's possible that the Heralds' resurrections are actually Odium's work, if for some reason the presence of the Heralds in the Cognitive prevent him from starting his Attack

EDIT: New WoB about Roshar's languages

Q:  Since you mention languages on Roshar, are there any languages that are completely unrelated to any other on the planet?

A: Our basic language families are:

Vorin: Alethi, Veden, Herdazian, and more distantly Thaylen. Nathan is close to dead, but shares a root, and Karbranthian is basically a dialect. Other minor languages like Bav are in here.

Makabaki: Azish is king here, and most the languages around split off this. There are around thirty of these.

Dawnate: A varied language family with distant roots in the dawnchant. Shin, parshendi, Horneater. They share grammar, but they diverged long enough ago that the vocabulary is very different.

Iri: Iriali, Reshi, Purelake dialects, Riran, and some surrounding languages.

Aimian: These two are lumped together, but are very different. Probably what you were looking for.

That isn't counting spren languages, of course. I might have missed something. Typing on my phone without my wiki handy.

 

 

Personal note, the line:

Puts together the Shin's culture with the oldest Roshar's Culture.....It may be a clue about Shinovar as "point zero for the human on Roshar"

Hmm;

• If the Heralds are kind of like Cognitive Shadows,
• and they go to Braize when they die (which is full of Splinters/Spren)
• And with Kalak's vague description of hooks and other bad stuff in WoK
• Combined with the knowledge of what a certain someone experienced in SH
• Perhaps they undergo something similar in Braize's Shadesmar
