One root covers what English splits three ways. is the oven you bake in, the stove you heat the room with and, with a qualifier, the industrial furnace: bakforno, hejtforno, fandforno. Fornelo is the smaller cooker or hob, and is to bake in one. The compounding is the point - Esperanto would rather specify than borrow a fourth word.
