As an editor, this word has not yet cropped up, but because the "y"
sound is already in Kautsky's name, the addition of an "i" would seem
highly problematic. How would it be pronounced? With two "i" sounds ("y"
and "i")? That is unfelicitous, to say the least. To say that the two
sounds represented by the two letters would elide is only evading the
question. So, I would go with "Kautskyan"; or "Kautskyist"; or "Kautskyoid."
