Basing "tense" on "temci" would make more sense if the place structure
of "temci" was "x1 is the time of x2". That's is closer to "cabna"
than to "temci". Similarly "aspect" could be based on "faurpau" or
"faurji'u" since it has to do with singling out a part or a particular
view of an event.

But just as a noun is not a thing, and a verb is not an action, tense
is not a time and aspect is not a faurpau or a faurji'u.

Maybe "cabysni" for "tense" and "faurpausni" for "aspect"?
