Here's my current formulation, from Revision 3.18 of the tense paper:

# The four TAhE cmavo are differentiated as follows:  "ru'i" covers the
# entirety of the interval, "di'i" covers the parts of the interval which are
# systematically spaced subintervals; "na'o" covers part of the interval,
# but exactly which part is determined by context; "ta'e" covers
# part of the interval, selected with reference to the behavior of the
# actor (who often, but not always, appears in the x1 place of the bridi).
