Book of Lost Tales stuff. In BoLT, Makar and Measse the bloodthirsty warriors are added to that number, and several of them have kids (in fact, I think Orome is a child of some of the others). It's all very Germanic Mythology - Melko has a child with an ogress - and went away very quickly, but it's the same source as Ranuin, Danuin, and Fanuin, the Valar of months, days, and years.
(They tie the Sun and Moon to giant cables for Manwe to pull. BoLT is weird.)
EDIT: Oh, and a guess that
HUI, which floated around on one of the Notion Club lists, might be a variant of FUI (aka Nienna), with the U being part of the name of some very famous type of ornamental plate.
