Did you make that up on the fly, or is this from a project you're actively working on? I ask because during the last few weeks I have, to my surprise, found myself working on a conlang (a kind of aposteriori artlang, which I today named /br+S/ (no orthography yet; + = barred I)), which is rather similar, though the analysis says they're morphological fusions of subject concord prefixes (or clitics) with auxiliaries. If you are working on something similar, perhaps it might be a cousin of /br+S/, which in /br+S/ would probably be called /mekn/. --And.
