Note
It is by no means suggesting that we do this kind of puzzle everytime we try to communicate with a real Romance speaker in the occassion of the word in Common Linguano is not readily understood by the target person. Because, we can just learn the specific set of words and just employ it in our speech. Instead, we can use this for some word we do not readily know before when are in a converstation with a real Romance speaker.
