I think that would make "loosely" not work out. Lucely/lucly catch the hard C there. I'm good with loozing/loozer, looks kind of funny though.

I would not pronounce lucely with a hard C

Lucezly

One more step, and we're in Poland.

Lucely absolutely does not catch the hard c. Surely there is no word in the English language where "ce" has a hard c, only loanwords like celt.

Fun fact — English did not have formalized spelling prior to the printing press

So, technically we are allowed to make modifications! We just can't expect others to adhere to our modifications :)

Luce is already a word in English, if a little obscure
