Artificial-language recombination with semantic consistency: from godabim = kidney stones, romzbim = kidney beans, romzbako = wax beans, choose the correct encoding for 'wax statue'

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: wasibako

Explanation:

Given data

  • godabim = kidney stones ⇒ bim = kidney; goda = stones.
  • romzbim = kidney beans ⇒ romz = beans.
  • romzbako = wax beans ⇒ bako = wax.
  • Goal: 'wax statue' ⇒ [statue] + [wax] following observed order.

Concept/Approach (why this method)

Note the construction pattern: compounds appear as noun + modifier (e.g., beans + wax; beans + kidney). Hence 'wax statue' should be statue + wax.

Step-by-Step decoding1) From examples, adopt bako = wax.2) Identify an option of the form [unknown 'statue'] + bako.3) wasibako matches this structure; others either lack bako or place unrelated morphemes first.4) Therefore, choose wasibako as 'wax statue'.

Verification/Alternative

Parallelism: romzbako (beans + wax) mirrors wasibako (statue + wax). This symmetry supports the mapping.

Common pitfalls

  • Selecting terms containing romz (beans), which changes the head noun.
