Opes is material weath. Amo is loved. Num is whether. Ruo is to fall down. Etc etc.
Where are you getting these translations from?

You can apply pretty much any substitution code to the VMS and come up with combinations that look like words. If you then arbitrarily treat them as anagrams, then you WILL come up with combinations that look like words but it doesn't mean they're the right words or that they make any grammatical sense.

Just one example, opês (can't get the bar on this keyboard mapping) and I'll keep it simple.
Opês is the nominative, accusative or vocative plural version of ops. It's the root of the English word opulant and opus, amongst others, not that it matters. It always refers to material weath, and there was even a Roman Goddess of loose change (or something) called Opês.
It does not mean "to help", which is only ever ops in the singular - for example, Fer opem occidenti patriae (Help your own country).
