Spanish does still have "el can", though its usage is restricted.

In the Latin, it agrees with verbum (n.) not caro (f.).

The ambiguity is quite delicious. I would leave them homophonic and
watch the bloody foreigners squirm when they think they've ordered dog.
The only question I have here is does Limgua Latina retain some kind of
case / stem differentiation? "ka1nem1" looks like an accusative, either
of caro or canis. That doesn't quite fit with the whole structure of
NOM + become + NOM.
