as a first shot, that both complements of a quantifier QV' contain a free occurrence of V', where this is defined syntactically as not being subordinate to any expression of the form QV' other than the one cited. That takes some work to get into BNF or your system (or GT generally) but is essential to this making any sense at all.
I think you're mixing up syntax and inflectional morphology. Inflectional morphology is the phonological expression of elements of syntactic structure. There are rules of inflectional morphology, and they will need to be specified (tho we know what they are), but they do not belong among syntactic rules. --And.

What syntactic rule is missing? Can you supply it?
