Was it not possible to apply that principle to the impermissible
consonant pairs so that they wouldn't have required a morphological
"y" but just a phonological buffer between them? So:

mijycisysla -> mijcissla
togytikygau -> togtikgau

But:

xacysantyse'u -> xacsantyse'u
rircylajytigysla -> rircylajtigsla

(... the impermissble consonant pairs of all of which would still be
buffered phonotactically.)
