If you prefer, you could spell it 'rumnannery' or 'rumnanery', that's a
nice English approximation of the pronunciation (unless you pronounce
your <u> as /U/ and <a> as /a/, in which case 'ramnanery' would be
closer, but less close). Now it looks like a compound of 'rum' and
something else though ;) And it still doesn't look especially English.

(Sorry to usurp the thread though.)
