Also, if [H] is to [y] as [w] and [j] to [u] and [i], perhaps [h] becomes [j]. Or would outsiders hear [H] as [w]?
I definitely hear the diphthong in _nuit, suivre_ etc.
as [w] in spite of knowing better. OTOH I tend to
pronounce it disyllabic as [8i], but that may be
because [B_o] in the diphthong [8B_o], functioning
as the 'long' allophone of /8/ is the closest thing
to [w] *or* [H] that my L1 possesses (its _j_ being
usually [z\].

"Maybe" is a strange word. When mum or dad says it
it means "yes", but when my big brothers say it it
means "no"!
