Here's a quick list of what seems to me to be a pretty minimal set of 
cmavo (maybe I'm forgetting some important ones, so don't take it as 
definitive):

• co'e
• [be, bei, be'o] / [poi'i, ke'a, kei]
• [[lo/su'o/ro/no], du'u, ka, ce'u, kei, cu] / [ko'ai, xu'u, ku'au, ko'V]
• xi, PA

MAYBE: .i, ca'e
EXTRALOGICAL: kau (as a focus marker)

The '/' signifies alternative possibilities.

Connectives and other quantifiers would be expressed with predicates and 
nested abstractions.
