[B-Greek] Classical HUDOKHSAN to Koine EUDOKHSAN

In Modern Greek, augments with verbs beginning with vowels in general have more or
less dropped out, so there appears to be a trajectory there.  There seems to be a general trend in many Indo-European languages towards less differentiation in forms; I don't know why.

Can anyone please inform me as to why the classical HUDOKHSAN would become
EUDOKHSAN in the NT period? Is EUDOKHSAN somehow still augmented? If not, is
the change from HU- to EU- accounted for by their similarity in pronunciation
(assuming they were)?
