Regex: Exclude a substring in fn:matches - regex

Question

I have an config xml as
<cfg:property name="Gallery.*.*">GalleryPort</cfg:property>
<cfg:property name="Office.*.*">OfficePort</cfg:property>
<cfg:property name="Home.Living.Closet$">LivingCloset</cfg:property>
<cfg:property name="Home.Living.Lights$">LivingLights</cfg:property>
I use xquery to get the value for the property using
$dynamicURN := $config//cfg:property[matches($key, #name)]/text()
$key is received from database and the urn is the fetched.
What should be the fourth property name so that it can catch any string other than Closet or Lights after Home.Living.?
Example: I tried
<cfg:property name=" Home.Living.[A-Z-[LIGHTS]]">LivingMisc</cfg:property>
<cfg:property name=" Home.Living.[^'(LIGHTS)']">LivingMisc</cfg:property>
Possible values for key are:
Home.Living.Lights
Home.Living.Light
Home.Living.Closed
Home.Living.Closet
Home.Living.Table
The respective output should be
LivingLights
LivingMisc
LivingMisc
LivingCloset
LivingMisc

The code below will get you what you need, but you could do it another way that is more performent at scale. Just so you know that regex will be evaluated for each item it finds. So for every node it finds its going to be 3 expressions.
declare namespace cfg = "somthinghere";
let $key := ("Home.Living.Lights","Home.Living.Closet","Home.Living.anyOtherString","Home.Living.anotherString")[1]
let $config :=
<config>
<cfg:property name="Gallery.*.*">GalleryPort</cfg:property>
<cfg:property name="Office.*.*">OfficePort</cfg:property>
<cfg:property name="Home.Living.Closet$">LivingCloset</cfg:property>
<cfg:property name="Home.Living.Lights$">LivingLights</cfg:property>
<cfg:property name="Home.Living.[^Closet|Lights]">LivingMisc</cfg:property>
</config>
let $option := $config//cfg:property[fn:matches($key, #name )]/text()
return $option
Update:
Since you can't use negative lookahead in xquery you could try something like this. Don't use Name for the other home.living. matches. So the code here will first look at #name. If it finds something it will stop. If it doesn't find something then it will look at #fallback and match off of that.
It just means the keys that aren't found in the first match will be running a 2nd match so its just more expressions for those items.
declare namespace cfg = "somthinghere";
let $key := (
"Home.Living.Lights",
"Home.Living.Closet",
"Home.Living.anyOtherString",
"Home.Living.anotherString",
"Home.Living.Close",
"Gallery"
)[2]
let $config :=
<config>
<cfg:property name="Gallery.*.*">GalleryPort</cfg:property>
<cfg:property name="Office.*.*">OfficePort</cfg:property>
<cfg:property name="Home.Living.Closet$">LivingCloset</cfg:property>
<cfg:property name="Home.Living.Lights$">LivingLights</cfg:property>
<cfg:property fallback="Home.Living.*">LivingMisc</cfg:property>
</config>
return ($config//cfg:property[fn:matches($key, #name )]/text()[1], $config//cfg:property[fn:matches($key, #fallback )]/text()[1])[1]
