sorry, you're right - [{] not [&] - i'm used to kirschenbaum, in which,
if i recall it correctly, <&> is ipa a-e ligature.
as to the schwa-ness, it's got a lot of variation - i'm a little
surprised at just [3], though, and not a rhotic [3`]. you're probably
right, though, that i'm not pronouncing the end quite as i transcribed
it.
i think, on consideration, it's probably this: they're both
unreleased/nasally-released stops, in latin and ladin, followed by a
syllabic nasal. the /t/ further reduces, though, to a glottal stop.
maybe?

so, googling my conlangs gets the following:
hamdi - a whole lot on yassir hamdi.
hamdi language - first three on my language, then back to yassir hamdi.
suin�lese - no hits, because i've not yet posted the grammar.
leuma - "find people with the last name leuma", "leuma is from the
hebrew for nation, and is a name given to girls...", "discomposedness
leuma monkish regainable unwholesomeness mangel flirtishness. walleye
doing nonpersistent, martinist done dysspermatism" and nothing on my
language.
that's about all.
