Hi folks



I have extracted the various Greek and Latin Roots from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Greek_and_Latin_roots_in_English/A%E2%80%93G to Squeak objects.

The objects correlate to one row in the various tables at the link.



For example, I have one object for:



<tr>

<td><b>abac-</b><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a></sup></td>

<td>slab</td>

<td>Greek</td>

<td><span lang="grc"><a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E1%BC%84%CE%B2%CE%B1%CE%BE#Ancient_Greek" class="extiw" title="wikt:ἄβαξ">ἄβαξ, ἄβακος</a></span> (<span title="Ancient Greek transliteration" lang="grc-Latn"><i>ábax, ábakos</i></span>), <span lang="grc"><a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E1%BC%80%CE%B2%CE%B1%CE%BA%CE%AF%CF%83%CE%BA%CE%BF%CF%82#Ancient_Greek" class="extiw" title="wikt:ἀβακίσκος">ἀβακίσκος</a></span> (<span title="Ancient Greek transliteration" lang="grc-Latn"><i>abakískos</i></span>)</td>

<td>abaciscus, <a href="/wiki/Abacus" title="Abacus">abacus</a>, <a href="/wiki/Abax" class="mw-redirect" title="Abax">abax</a>

</td></tr>







the cells are put into accessors..corresponding to the headers of the table:



Root, Meaning, Origin, Etymology, English examples.



MyObject

      root -> abac

      meaning -> slab

      language -> greek

      etymology -> blah

       examples -> more-blah





Focusing on "english examples" I am interested in 



LatinRoots select:[:each | each english_examples  "have same or similar meanings"]




If anybody has pointers to projects that have grappled with that problem I would appreciate a link.



answers like "Your question is completely nonsensical" are ok, too (:


thanks for your time.
