It happens you are right:))
Indeed the non-literar pronounciation is "acualea" even in my region
where in fact the "acua-" is the same pronunciation as of Latin "aqua-
".
And this is not the only one case. Take a look at "încua" which is
literary "incoa"( in this direction, to us, nearly, etc) which is the
oppositum of "incolo".
In fact we have "incolo" ( no /kW/ here in pronunciation, even
dialectaly) versus "incoa( /kW/ in the usual pronunciation) and we
have "acolo" ( kW in "acualea") versus "aci" (here) .
For "aci" are several forms, the literar one being "aici", dialectaly
being used forms as "aci, acilea, cilea". It seems that the
form "ici" ( selden used in expresion like "ici,colo") is the Latin
reflex like in French , Italian, etc.
