How is Kun pronounced? Short u as in cunning, or long u as in tune?

Kuhn or koon?

Probably answered, and I do not know, but “u” as in “put” is a third alternative, often used afaik, in other languages.

MY Asian language expert, Son-in-law, who speaks Canton, Mandarin, Korean and Japanese...most “fluently” says it is the short /u/ such as “cunning” or “stunt”.
