I am wondering what differences there are in other language ... esp 
the languages JKR uses to create spells. For example are ... ?

- "SILENCIO" (silence) in Spanish books could be "Shut Up"
- "REDUCIO" (reduce in size) becomes "Pip Squeek"
- "TARANTALLEGRA" (jelly-legs Jinx) is an Italian dance. So that 
could become "Hokey Pokey"
- "ALOHOMORA" in Hawaii becomes "Welcome Mora"

Am I close? ... lol
