Alternate timeline in which all Greek and Latin roots are swapped

Alternate timeline in which all Greek and Latin roots are swapped:

catastrophe -> contraverse
cephalopod -> capitoped
chlorophyll -> viridofolia
democracy -> populimpery
homicide -> anthropoctony
homosexual -> equigamic
kilometer -> millimensure
interregnum -> mesarchy
magnanimous -> megapsychic
manuscript -> chirography
motorcycle -> ergatorote
microscope -> parvovisor
oxygen -> acidofex
polyamory -> multierasty
television -> remotoscope
universe -> monostrophe

Excellent. Remoteoscope and equigamic are both wonderful words and I envy our alternate-universe buddies.
