Cool, very unconventional... and also surprisingly non-trivial
to pronounce, for a romlang. =P

What is /t./? Palatized or retroflex /t/?

Very unconventional indeed. I would expect the cluster /fs/ to
erode to /s/ in such an omnipresent word... but the speakers of
Fortunatian don't appear to be afraid of clusters. ;-)

What is |fso| derived from? It certainly doesn't appear to be
|ille|.

PS: I wonder what that text sounds like when you pronounce it.
Any chance that you could upload an audio recording of it?

It so happens gave my Jovian Paternoster its long overdue total
overhaul just yesterday. Here is the up-to-date version,
complete with audio files...
