No, because y'V is not otherwise used for anything. The only thing
to keep in mind is that a fuhivla rafsi can only be preceded by
a y-rafsi, but this is not a big restriction because every gismu
has at least one y-rafsi. This applies to every fu'ivla rafsi, not 
just those that start with a vowel.
