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".
Or "mileage", which isn't the number of miles in a distance.
OTOH, speed as distance (or length) divided by time should be acceptable, as long as only the measurable properties are involved, and not units per se.
