I'm not sure what you mean by "the vowel sound 'u'." These are correct:
an uncle
an umbrella
a university
a unicycle
an uncle

goatDoes the sentence 'he has lived in this house since 1978' mean he is still living in the house or he is not in the house?Without context, it would mean he still lives there.
You could use past perfect "had" to suggest that he no longer lives there.
