<<Where did the [r\] go?>>

Well, it has been my understanding that [r\] has degraded to [@`], at least
in  American English, and I would think that a speaker of Latin would here
it as [a]--or [&] or [6] or whatever. (That's how [@`] in English transfers
to Japanese, so there's the natlang example.)

<<But it would be a verb, so, exeleretare?>>

Or exelaetare/excelaetare, considering the above paragraph.
