Your example of rely'orsi makes me think that you want orsi to mean
"tuple" in English. Is this interpretation correct?

And it might be the case the porsi does not work at all. I have been thinking about this problem for a long time and I oscillate.

So it'd a tuple with explicit probably immutable number of places and with some default unspecified rules of how the order is formed (unimportant, not relevant to physical implementation)?

I presently think so.
