Mine follow the Philippine model somewhat, but only with affixes. Unlike tagalog, i've made mine have actual tense, rather than a "temporal aspect" to them. So, instead of "continuing" we have "present", Instead of "contemplated" we have "future", and instead of "completed" we have "past". I also have a "conditional" affix. I thought it would be different than Tagalog to do it this way.
