Colleagues, Please check your Even Shoshan (2003 and later), vol. 6, page 2153 for the rules of vocalization (and Romanization) of Vav ha-hibur:
The word ואני (and me) should be Romanized as va-ani and not ve-ani. The word Ani has a Hataf-Patah under the Alef. According to the grammatical rules the Vav gets the sound of the Hataf. The King and I will be ha-Melekh va-ani The book I have before me: “Bibi and me” should be Bibi va-ani.
