Description
The libjni_latinimegoogle.so is a tiny proprietary bit for the AOSP keyboard, which provides the swipe feature. You can extract and install it and it just works, but it would be better to have it available directly. (Also in LineageOS for microG.)
For that maybe consider to reimplement (or reverse-engineering) it too. I don't know why Google thought such a thing must be kept secret…

Research direction
Begin with the referenced libjni_latinimegoogle.so and the linked extraction and installation instructions, then review how AOSP keyboard swiping is provided in LineageOS for microG. Done would mean a direct, working implementation of the swipe feature without relying on the proprietary library.
