The fix for that is "ai'erne". The ve fu'ivla has an initial /h/.

Other words affected by camxes:
"tarksako" (dandelion) -> "tarsako" or "traksako"
"kriofla" (cloves) -> "kriiofla"
"fasxolarkto" (koala) -> "fasxolarto". The latter was actually my original 
proposal, but Nick prefers the version with "k" because he can see the Greek 
word for "bear" in it. Without the "k", the bear turns to bread.

"martio", "prilio", "madjio", "djunio", and "djulio" are all valid, but a bug 
in vlatai calls them invalid because they differ by one apostrophe from lujvo.

"damskrima" (badly formed word for "fencing", the sport) is valid, but another 
bug in vlatai calls it invalid. Better forms are "dambrskrima" and "eskrima".

"mliau" (meow) is affected by whether triphthongs are allowed. If they are, 
it's invalid because it has only one syllable. If they aren't, it's "mli,au".
