I can go "ihihi" without moving anything at all! For the "i" I > voice, and for the "h" I devoice and increase the aspiration. In that case you are doing what I am doing: using [C], IPA c-cedilla, as the realization of /h/. Perfectly legitimate thing to do, but not the same as IPA [h], which is realized in the back of the throat. Your /h/ in u'u is probably a lot closer to [h]. This is why I like to explain ' in terms of voicelessness of the surrounding vowels rather than in terms of [h], and why "h" isn't a particularly good representation of it. -- If you have ever wondered if you are in hell, John Cowan it has been said, then you are on a well-traveled http://www.ccil.org/~cowan road of spiritual inquiry.
