I haven't got my head round the rules, but the rationale for ju seems clear and valid. The essay hasn't changed fV from a suffix to a unary operator yet. It would be of the tV, mV sort, a monadic predicate with a formula 'complement'. (tV is the definiteness operator and mV the onomastic operator.)

As indicated in the text, near the top I left the "initially proposed" formulation I left it as a suffix for historical reasons; elsewhere it should be the unary operator, unless I missed some occurrences.
