On the one hand we have situation, when gallow letters do not usually follow each other (for some unknown reason), but can follow each other.
On the other hand we have a glyph (y in the middle) which occurs almost always* near gallow.
Then the conclusion that y replace some gallow in certain situations is the simplest one. And it's f, I suppose.

*65% is pretty far from "almost always". But I just did rough calculations with text editor...
In 95%+ of cases y in the middle appears either near gallow, or near d, s, r. And there is at least one gallow letter which tries to avoid standing next to d, s, or r (because of their shapes and subsequent issues with spacing, I believe). This gallow letter also never stands adjacent to another gallow (other three do - see examples of Emma May Smith). It's f.
