ilungu -> as David said. lungu (ideophone) = of peeping ukulunguza = to peep (= to look at something quickly and secretly)
And yes, the decomposer wrongly suggests that "lunguza" means "it is an armpit hair". It's wu- instead of ngu- with class 11 nouns. I'll have to fix that. Hope David will let me off for messing this up.

hehe that's kind of funny
I love your Decomposer Carsten, we will debug it one day. Show me something better on this planet!
But this is news to me
So can I now understand, for predicate or whatever it is called:
- begins with i = needs y- - class 11 = needs wu- - else = needs ng-

Yeb. So it's "wulwandle" instead of "ngulwandle". I've fixed the decomposer. AFAIK you can use "wu-" instead of "ng-" with all nouns beginning with a "u", but you must not use ng- with class 11.
