Thank you farmerjohn, I see your point. You understand your fake-Latin cannot stand a comparison with true Latin or Romance languages. Your only choice is discarding your theory or discarding the evidence of the entire tradition of the Latin language and all its descendants, and you are happy with the second option.

Appropriate enough: once you decide your results cannot be directly compared with actual evidence, you are left with pure flatus vocis - "quack quack quack", if you prefer.
