Of the languages I know of, Georgian seems to come closest to it
(I even seem to remember reading about a fluid-S pivot in Georgian,
but I am not sure); however, I did not consciously model Old Albic
on Georgian that much, but simply did what felt right to me.

Yes!  I posted a grammar sketch of Old Albic to this list last year;
this and several other posts on Old Albic (including the one about
the fluid-S pivot) can be convieniently accessed via FrathWiki:
