Got the spelling right, but it should be /"sEn.tsUN/.  (I really thought it
should have an /N/ in the first syllable, but the auto-sound changer list says
no.)

I do have a page up for Kirumb at
http://www.frath.net/language/kirumb.shtml

It has not been updated in awhile, but only because I haven't been working on
it much.  (Meaning it's not rotten, only stagnant :)   The only real change
made since then is the transliteration of the letter <cá> (value /ts/ or /tS/)
as <c> instead of <cj>.

The (nowhere-near-complete) lexicon is here:
http://www.frath.net/language/kirumb-lexicon.shtml

And that's about all that's up on it so far.  I need to organtesynthesize
everything I've done... you can find older, not-necessarily-up-to-date
information in the list archives (under the names 'Kirumb' 'Kirómbos' and
'Hadwan') and it may have been in a relay or two.

(One thing I find as I look at it today is it is not easy for me to pronounce!
So much /Q:/ and /N/.  And the stress, regular but difficult!  <ámirá>
/Q:mI"rQ:/!!  And the verb stems, too frightening...  This is what it gets for
being one of my oldest conlangs.)

    *Muke!
