There is really no reason to have a special definition for "ba ba". I
thought we had decided to remove it from the list of definitions.

That's not right though. There is no indication of aspect in "ba ba".
And in any case, the "Durational (progressive/continuous) Aspects in
Future" is "I will be going" as in "I will be singing". Don't confuse
"I will be going (home)", with "I will be going to (sing)", where
"go" is used as an auxiliary.
But neither of those is "ba ba" in any case. "I will be going" is "mi
ba ca'o klama", and "I will be going to sing" is "mi ba pu'o klama".
