You forgot vtense:

NILENGA: [5 or 6 syllable forms]
miam tibe danka.   "I was going to school." from Mi+pA; or, the same:
lum tibe danka.    "I was going to school" from LU+Me; or, logographic:
[@-*>]* tibe danka. pronounced lum tibe danka. or:
mi ti-*be danka. pronounced  mi tiambe danka. "I was going to school"

Visualize the ugly logograph as a single graceful glyph. It's coming
soon to our screens via unicode.

I read the TOKCIR version as past imperfect; o for past and s for
imperfect. At least that's what the cheat-sheet says. Past imperfect
would be I _went_ to school. "Was going" is past progressive. Jack,
is this correct use of your system?
