-CTION (action, collection...)
= -CÇÃO(Portuguese) : a acção, a colecção
= -CCIÓN (Spanish) : la acción, la colección
= -CCIÓ (Catalan) : l'acció, la col·lecció
= -CTION (French) : l'action, la collection

Where is poor old Romanian? :-D
Also, a minor correction: it's lo strumento, not *l'instrumento.

Lol. The only reason why Romanian isn't there is because my knowledge of it is much more basic.
Oh, and yes, it's lo strumento, of course. A lapsus, as I was going fast. Grazie for noticing. Tell me about any other possible mistakes.![]()
