My thought has always been to decide on a single "original" root
language, keep the words from that as is, and change all the others to
fit, with the exception of words that retain their Latin spelling.
It'd be logical, it'd not have _all_ of the etymologists screaming, and
it would retain the roots of the language.
One may dream.
