Computer Guru’s Latin teacher sent this list of body parts in five Romance languages: Latin, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. Eldest Daughter and I share an interest in languages, particularly Romance languages and English. Can you figure out what each of the twenty-five terms is in English? And if you can, is it because you know one of the languages or because of the English cognates for many of these words for parts of the human body?

I think I know all of them except #13, but that’s because I speak Spanish. I’ve seen the word higado, but I can’t remember what it means. Nor can I guess from the words in the other languages.
