Now there's a table or something in the Book stating or implying (I'm too tired to look it up) that the rafsi of "frinu" is "fi'u", thus giving "trefi'usnidu", whereas the gimste assigns "fi'u" to "cfipu". This situation is, of course, cfipu. But "trefrinysnidu" is correct regardless of what "fi'u" is the rafsi of. This doesn't help with a word for "velocity", which shouldn't have any unit names in it, despite the word "voltage".
