It all depends on how it was supposed to work. fu'ivla-rafsi
can't be combined with all normal rafsi: the immediately preceding
one has to be CVCy-, CCVCy-, CVCCy- or another fu'ivla-rafsi.
This is always achievable because every gismu has a four-letter
rafsi. Given that, iy clearly does work: it can be added unambiguously
after any fu'ivla and it could never be confused with a normal
rafsi. The assumption here is that "i" can be added to any final
vowel string. If we forbid vowel triples this won't work.
