No, the second morpheme is two syllables in ModE, and contains no diphthongs in ModE.

Does [ɬ] come from /fl/, /sl/, /tl/, /kl/, or neither?
I like my languages how I like my women: grammatically complex with various moods and tenses, a thin line between nouns and verbs, and dozens upon dozens of possible conjugations for every single verb.

I'm going to assume you meant /tɬʰ/ instead of /ɬ/. No, it comes from none of those, but you're very close.

Is this word or phrase used in Modern English? To clarify, would a Modern English speaker use these two nouns together to mean what they mean in your Future English?

Too bad I'm not.

Were there any consonants or vowels lost completely from the words in Modern English?
