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.
