Just to get things clear; does ṭṭ come from (in the original Latin word) the cluster scr? Or is the cluster formed later over time and then lenited?

That being said, there's still is a missing consonant

Alright, so ṭṭuru-omm-ono ~= "squirrel+human+SUFF", so literally "squirrel-man-ish person" or something like that.
Let me guess: does ṭṭurummono mean "were-squirrel"?
