I hadn't thought of allowing {iy} after normal rafsi.
We should not allow it after {CVC}. I'm not sure
if ambiguities would result, but the whole point of using
the "i" is to attach to a vowel. CVC can take y directly.
(Same for CVCC and CCVC, of course.)

Instead of allowing iy after CVV rafsi, we could allow
it after any cmavo: that way every cmavo that starts with
a consonant could be used in lujvo in non-final position.

As a further refinement, if we don't allow consonant
triples we can use {'iy} as the hyphen after a diphthong:

pavyseljirna = paiyseljirna
pai zei seljirna = pai'iyseljirna
