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?

Oh dear, I guess one of my answers was misinterpreted.

[cross] you got the cluster right tho.
Was sk, not skr.
With that correction [tick]
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"?

Close, but it's not spoken in Madagascar. Youve got the basic gist down though. Maybe focus on the -ono suffix. *Cough Cough* the relatives in other Romance language do not end in an o *cough*
