Sounds good to me. A lot of words for oyster sound like that: Slovene ostriga, 
Spanish ostra, Modern Greek streidi (the "o" dropped off), Hungarian 
osztriga, etc. "g" is more common than "d" as the last consonant, though.

"ostreda" is valid, as "streda" is a slinku'i.

I've thought of "klamcele" for clam, but it sounds malgli. "vongola" is a 
valid fu'ivla, but occurs only in Italian. Any other suggestions?
