I won't go that far. For now, I only became convinced that many final ir (note, not just any final r) are scribal errors for iin (note that here r = in, not r = n). I believe that those errors are so common that replacing all final ir by iin will fix more errors than create new ones.
I have no reason to believe (yet) that any or all otar ar or etc were meant to be otain ain oin etc. Much less that any r that is not word-final should be something else. (Although words with r not at the end are surprisingly rare.)
All the best, --stolfi
