Would {ifi} work as a(n optional) hyphen? Or any {VfV} where the vowels are the same? I may be wrong, but it seems to me that currently {ifi} following a predicate stem is not going to have a valid meaning.
I don't think so; {ifi} is a valid production at the end of a simple formula,
Not if it's a hyphen! If you define it as a hyphen then it's not valid at the end of a simple formula.
and even if it's never going to have a sensible meaning, it could still be part of a name.
OK, but the hyphen would link roots together into a stem. A name is a root beginning and ending with <'>, so there'd be no ambiguity. --And.
