What about if I used ILLE+MVLTVS (illis-multis) or even just MVLTVS on its own to form the dative plural of the definite article, so I'd end up with something like (off the top of my head without checking the GMP) /li:/ /li:/ ?/lims/ or /li:/ /li:/ ?/m2ls/ I think MVLTVS would be the better word, rather than PLVS?
