I think, though I may be wrong, that "ve-khu." is more like "et cetera," meaning "and other things," than like "et al." meaning "and other people."
Anyway, the list in AACR2 is The List, as far as LC is concerned. For what that's worth to any other library.

I am having a hard time finding Hebrew abbreviations. If I have a work of mixed responsibility and need to use an [et al.] in the 245, what is the equivalent to be used in the Hebrew script field? AACR2 has the abbreviation for un andere, but not for the Hebrew.
