I hope I'll give more detailed analysis a bit later; Friday is a busy 
day: I'm still at work, and yet have to prepare for Sabbath...

But you're definitely right. In all natlangs of Semitic type I 
heard, /y/ in verb root makes quite many alterations to the paradigm. 
Especially l"y (Y-3 in your scheme).
