Dear Brekele,
IMHO, "rondo nunut" is not a "rondo" (widow) -- riding something. But an 'easy spelling' or 'quick spelling' of "rong dho" (two 'dho' -- two javanese 12th alphabets 'dho' or 'dha' in the greneng) nunut.

So, IMHO, "rongdho nunut" could be meant for "two more dhos above two dhos in the end of the greneng")

Below are two pics of Javanese characters or caraka scripts, vocal and consonant. And also, example of a keris greneng with 'rongdho nunut' at the end of the keris tail...
