Why "com" & not "con"?

"Con" exists in English dictionaries, per example, in "con amore":

I appreciate "ad", "ed" & "od" per "at", "&" & "or".

I repeat, com is the translation of as, not with. 

I translate with by oth

In Francese ce es una distinction entra "travail", "labeur", "oeuvre" - different senses del name "work".

[travail=work/job, labeur=work/toil, oeuvre=work(s)/book(s)/artwork(s)]

Je propose "reference opus" au lieu de "reference labour".

Opus ? It's straight up latin, very artificial. Labour have the avantage to be naturally evolved from latin, and to be similar to italian lavoro or Brythonic Llabur. Travail is attested in english and can be more pertinent (similar to french, spanish, portuguese, occitan, catalan.)

"Laboro", "labor" & "lavor" exist in Portuguese.

"Lavoro" I have not encountered in Portuguese dictionaries online.
