I think Pierre already knew that. :)

(Actually CLL uses fi'u as the rafsi for the cmavo {fi'u}, and CLL is
supposed to trump the gi'uste, so...)

But in any case {fi'urvo} is a fu'ivla. I'm not sure I'd use it for a
unit though.
Perhaps it is part of a series:

xadba
fi'urci
fi'urvo
fi'urmu
fi'urxa
fi'urze
fi'urbi
fi'urso
decti
