I would reduce the -ls in -is /js/, /jz/ or even -i /j/ like it is
done in Friulian (a Rhaeto-romance language). The /j/ even turns
naturally to /i/ after a vowel like u (where the u is
pronounced /w/).

il => is or i ("il, i" is used in Friulian, but it means "the")

sul => suis or sui ("ui" can be pronounced /uj/ or /wi/ as you
prefer)

arbul => arbuis or arbui <- the same word is used in Friulian (un
arbul, arbui /arbwi/)
I hope it can help you...
