Another difference, as mentioned earlier, is the addition of glyphs from the older native script. This script was largely ideographic, but a few glyphs were determinatives used to indicate case or even verbal tense. Glyphs for common words, such as conjunctions, connectives, existential particles, and negators were added to the Tašširkantaft. Some of these glyphs are combinations of two glyphs, as in the glyph for ''hambin'' ("there is no X"), which is a combination of the negator ''hatāʔ'' and ''matti'' ("there is an X"). The characters for the case clitics ''=(a)ran'' (Dative), ''=ni'' (Benefactive), ''=yar'' (Ablative), ''=par'' (Instrumental), etc. can actually appear before a verb written in the Tašširkantaft, in which case these characters represent the Applicative affixes ''-dut-'', ''-rak-'', ''-raħk-'', ''-ngar-'', respectively. | Another difference, as mentioned earlier, is the addition of glyphs from the older native script.

The following graphic demonstrates how the Tašširkantaft letters map to the corresponding Baybayin letters from which they were derived: | |||
