The Book recommends using the rafsi of "frinu" for this (the word "fi'u" 
doesn't have a rafsi). 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".
