I don't think it comes from a longer word; it's just the "negative 2nd person singular" prefix. Most of the negative prefixes (except 1p sg) are just h(a)- plus the positive prefix.

Why is the ending here an "i" when some other verbs keep their "u'"? For example, "hujibu" instead of "hujibi".

Final -a turns to -i, other vowels stay the same.
