Hmm. I get the comparison to honorifics, but trying to search Google for -gumi words with random beginnings and I overwhelmingly see them combined without hyphen.

Gumi as a word on its own has a different meaning than Kumi as a word or -gumi at the end of a word, though. Can't think of a similar situation with English words--maybe that's just one area where English is less screwy than other languages for a change.
