Like German "heute" (="today") where the "eu" sounds like the "oy" in Spanish "hoy"? hui=hoy=heu(te)... Neat!

The historic French word "hui" is now completely obsoleted, and commonly
found only in the single expression "aujourd'hui", considered now as a

typically not find the word "hui" in a modern French dictionnary).

"Hui" < "hodie" 'today'. Cf. Spanish "hoy".
