Very nice, and this one looks very much like a Romance language :)
I see that you finally chose "etú" and not "eutú". I think I can agree with
that.

A few questions:
"a nos": is it common in Romance Pater Nosters to use this addition? I saw it
in Spanish and Aingeljã as well, but AFAIK no Germanic translation has it.
"danosle": where does that come from?
"caer": what does that mean?
"livranos": is this really supposed to be one word?
