No, that would break the vowel-harmony rules, and we can't do that,
can we?  All vowels in a non-compound word must be either all high
or all low.  While _yuh_ looks like a nice Sohlob word _(h)anson_
definitely does not(*), so that rules out the compound possibility.
(*)Possible, but not fitting the lámatyáve.

Feilip is OK, not least since it is Fei in Mandarin.
