xuxuxi has a combination of harmony and anti-harmony: the first (and
stressed) syllable of multi-syllabic words dictates the vowel harmony for
all following syllables *except* the last, which breaks harmony (which
is how you know it's the last).  Any following unstressed syllables
represent monosyllabic words.

The rules are:

initial         medial          final           harmony type
a               a,e,o           i,u             low
e,i             a,e,i           o,u             front
o,u             a,o,u           i,e             back
