I've just come to tamsmi in my jvoste, and the place structure *I* get for
it is:
s1=t2 s2=t2 t1 s3
Namely: x1 resembles in form x2, and has form x3, the resemblance being in
manner x4; this contrasts with your definition:
x1 has form x2, similar in form to x3 in property/quality x4
Not that I'm asking you to change it, but, well, make of it what you will.
(Note: you've handled it as a je-lujvo (smitra), essentially dumping the
remaining places of simsa after those of tarmi; I've handled it as a be-lujvo:
da simsa de tu'a lenu di tarmi da fa'u de kei lu'u goi daxipa)
