Maybe, the gentlemen you mentioned will explain, I can't.

I don't understand a iota. <ala, cela, acela> simply mean
"that" or better "that one" (that guy, that animal, that thing).
Whereas <asta, aista, ista, acesta> means "this" + "this one."
Or: "jener, jene, jenes + der, die, das" vs. "dieser, diese,
dieses."

Honestly, I don't know. But I assume it's so for the same
reason why Italians also utter a [k], not a [p], in the wording
that correponds to the Romanian "vino'ncoa'." Therefore, I
assume the <aqua> v. <apa> model won't fit here.
