Keyword method or scrabble method

How many concrete Turkish nouns can be obtained from the word “able” in Turkish?

bale (ballet), bal (honey), bel (waist), leb (lip), maybe ela (hazel)

can we use one of these words for the meaning of “able”?

able means hünerli in Turkish.

for example;

-Bale yapmakta oldukça hünerli bir kız.

(-She is an able girl in performing ballet.)

The keyword method uses pronunciation similarity and is very helpful. but it is limited. I wonder if we can use writing similarity instead of sound similarity? I’m curious about your views on this. Thank you.

If your brain can make a connection between those things, then it seems like it’s worth experimenting.
