  In a recent work we derived the kinematic Hamiltonian and primary constraints
of the new general relativity class of teleparallel gravity theories and showed
that these theories can be grouped in 9 classes, based on the presence or
absence of primary constraints in their Hamiltonian. Here we demonstrate an
alternative approach towards this result, by using differential forms instead
of tensor components throughout the calculation. We prove that also this
alternative derivation yields the same results and show how they are related to
each other.
