The relationship between the glottal stop in the Baybayin and that of the Tašširkantaft is recognizable. The Tašširkantaft glyph for <d> is actually an inverted form of the Baybayin glyph for <t>. Similarly, the Tašširkantaft glyph for <z> is descended from the Baybayin glyph <s>. Other discernable similarities can be found with the glyphs <l> and <m>. Some phonemes not found in the Tagalog or Ilocano languages were innovated, but these innovations came from a method of deriving additional glyphs from a base glyph from which certain classes of phonemes could be derived.

The Tašširkantaft was modified from the original Baybayin to map a base glyph and its variants to certain related phonemes (e.g. the base glyph and its variants to the labial consonants). For example, the glyphs for the labials , , and <f> are based on the glyph . Additions of dashes to the base glyph distinguish voiced, unvoiced, and fricatives. This explains why there is less variability in the Tašširkantaft script. The <d> and <t~~> glyphs~~ in the Baybayin are ~~noticeably different from each other~~; in contrast the glyphs in the Tašširkantaft for these same ~~glyphs~~ differ from each other only by the addition of a dash to the glyph <t> ~~from~~ the ~~base~~ glyph, <d>. As can be seen from the chart, the voiced consonant is assigned the base glyph, and dashes are added to this base glyph for unvoiced and fricatives for a given phonemic class (labials, dentals, aleveolars, etc). The Tašširkantaft is thus more economical.

The glyphs for the dentals /d/ and /t/ in the Baybayin are represented by two separate glyphs; in contrast the glyphs in the Tašširkantaft for these same phonemes differ from each other only by the addition of a dash to the base glyph <d> to derive the glyph <t> .

Each glyph of the Tašširkantaft has a default underlying vowel /a/; all other vowels must be marked explicitly attached to the vowel signs (indicated in the lower right-hand corner; the box is simply a representation of where the base glyph would be located). I still have to formulate how the long vowels would be represented, as they are phonemically significant, but most likely it's going to be a vertical dash through the diamonds representing the short vowels and <e>, and a horizontal one between the diamonds of the vowel .
