To answer your question, C-a hue is [hue]. There are couplets in the language like huideli and fidu which both mean faithful, but the first is native and the second is a learned borrowing. So in native words I have fa hue hui fo fu, but in borrowed words fe and fi do exist. This rule seems to have gone inactive around the time of the Reconquista or perhapsa a bit earlier. And there is atleast one example -- felari -- of a word that did not change. I have no explination for why this word is not *huelari. Adam
