"... a word that didn't communicate with each other ... " makes no sense to
me.  If "didn't communicate with each other" refers to "people", then it's
rather odd.
Are you saying that it's the same as "I've heard people who didn't
communicate with each other use it as a word"?

Just because Moro can do something, doesn't mean English (or any other
language) can also do it.
