Ah, the Setsuna/Setsna thing: Japanese almost always has vowel sounds between consonants, so whenever they want two consonants together they usuallt insert a U and then just sort of leave it out. This is why "Ayumi" is really pronounced "Aimi"The spider takes hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
