Once again you've basically nailed it lol. I'm surprised anyone besides myself has been curious enough to actually check out the Nippo Jisho and the like, and in case it wasn't obvious the pronunciation of Satsuman largely follows the rules laid out there (adopting an alphabet with very few reforms over four centuries really helped petrify the phonology).
I'm writing a much longer exposition on the Satsuman language, and I'll be sure to let you know when it's done and where I'm sharing it (I still have a *lot* to figure out on the PR end of things...)
