Actually, I think this is what I'm going to do! Thanks Nick for the KW > F
path and Christophe for pointing out the nice pairing of P and F.

So I'd get stuff like:

QUATTRO > patro
QUANDO > pando
QUALE > pale
QUINDECIM > findeche
CINQUE > chinfe
AEQUALE > ebale
AQUA > aba
LINGUA > linba > limba or linda
SANGUE > sanve
QUETARE > fedare
QUI > fi
QUAERO > fero
ANTIGUA > antiba

Some of these invoke voicing rules. I like. What say you guys?

So lift the cup of joy and take a big drink.
In spite of it all it's a beautiful world.
