I find them a little too "combinatorial"...
but why not...
they are in any case very homogeneous...

Exciting work (and beautiful glyphs); I look forward to reading about it when you get the document up.

I can't see them. 
Re: Kala updates etc.
These are extremely nice and I'm frankly admirative of the quantity and quality. I'd like to know a few things about the three different 'styles'.

Re: Kala updates etc.
Can you figure out what roots you want (definitions only) so that you know how many there are, and then decide after whether you need to use method #1 or #2?

Re: Kala updates etc.
Seems like a chicken & egg problem. It might have to be an iterative process. Do a round of defining what roots exist, see how many there are, compare to what the ranges you have for the 2 methods, then revise the list to make it more broad or narrow depending on which way you go.
I'd probably decide what phonological/morphological features I want to use for derivation, based just on aesthetics, and then decide what needs to happen to the roots based on that.

Re: Kala updates etc.
Drop dead sexy IMO. I like the plural, accusative, negative, & gemination markers. I don't know if it's common to have symbols dedicated to morpho-syntactic features or not, but I dig it. The various brush styles.... just love. That's something I definitely want to emulate for my langs once I get to the script stage.
Also, it's a good, simple document with just enough detail. Kudos.
