Isn't -insky something like Latin -ensis? So maybe
|Stracze~szy|? ;-)

It's the 3sg of the passive auxiliary verb |fire| "to be
made, to become". That would make the phrase "I was born
on..." rather complicated though: |Hau fide nadu in...|
[ho vi:d na:dz in]. Maybe I should reinterpret |nascer|
as "to be born" rather than "to give birth", so it would
become simpler: |Hau nadu in...| [ho na:dz in]. Then I
could coin a new word/phrase for "give birth", as in
English... =P I do such things far too rarely, sticking
to the Latin meanings for sheer laziness.
