But {la mozilys. faglor.} doesn't, because it ends in a consonant?

Hm, I don't think it would be a wise choice for me to read it manually... :)

Aha, "Delete Software Limited, Moscow, Russia" is not a sentence, too.

fu'i?
"Something a little ridiculous"?

Hm...
{tergafselsa'a} (modified song) - x1 is a song parody by x2 TTTO x3 by
x4, the parody is about x5
{gafselsa'a} (modifier song) - x1 parodies song x2 by x3 about x4 with
result called x5
correct?

{fikselsa'a} (fiction song) - x1 is a filk song ... maybe like selsa'a + 
subject of the song
{fiksa'a} - x1 is a filk-singer / sings filk ...like selsa'a.
