Looks good to me, Fredrik.  *staurms isn't attested, but
reconstruction I think on the basis of a Germanic loan into Italian.
In the same way you could also have: SKURABRIGGANDS, probably
pronounced something like ['sku:ra''briNants], "skoora bring-gants",
main stress on the first syllable, secondary stress on "bring".  The
<au> in <staurm> is a short open mid front vowel [O], as in English
<thought>, but short.
