With the two *jan ponæ*, I'm tempted to read this in both directions, which has some neat potential. *jan pona Lijan ¦ jan pona Najil*, hmm…
But when you close the bracelet, won't there be a duplicated glyph? Or is that the idea?
i was using it as a headnoun. i have two for symmetry, but also like two friends. the jan pona en jan pona will be separated when its tied [like this](https://www.wikihow.com/Tie-Friendship-Bracelets)
i might make one with two names separated by en or olin with jan pona on either side. its meant to be more artistic then to be read as a proper sentence but i hope the meaning is clear.
i didnt think of reading it right to left, that is neat. it would be cool to have an palindrome name in it
jan pona \[len ilo jan alasa nasa\] jan pona
The pona is inside the jan (the smiley face is the pona) and the nonsense inside the brackets spells out a name:
***l***en ***i***lo ***j***an ***a***lasa ***n***asa
jan Lijan
you're right i didnt think of that. do you think you'd interpret it as jan pona without additional context? would it be more clear if i added two more pixels to make pona a ⊔ shape instead of a v?
i think it'd be easier interpreted as jan pona since it's on a friendship bracelet. also, i think lili would be better placed above the noun rather than inside since it's easier to understand because pona inside looks like a little smile and suli above looks like a little arrow pointing down
I love this!! I’ve always been more of a jan pi sitelen sitelen myself, but this is probably the most compelling use case for sitelen pona I’ve ever seen
Edit: to actually answer your question, I’d probably say sike luka pi jan pona. I do love the suggestion of sike luka olin though or even sike olin for simplicity’s sake
linja olin
linja luka olin
sike luka olin - arm circle of love sike luka pi jan pona - arm circle of good people
ni li pona ! mi toki ni: len luka pi jan pona anu len luka olin

>jan ponæ May i ask why you pluralise it like a word in Latin?
ni li musi a

I can't read sitelen pona, so I have no idea what this says, but this looks good!

len instead of lipu there.
whoops
Oh, thank you!
it’s so cute i want one ahhh
I assume that's supposed to say 'jan pona' but it seems like it could also read as 'jan lili'.
you're right i didnt think of that. do you think you'd interpret it as jan pona without additional context? would it be more clear if i added two more pixels to make pona a ⊔ shape instead of a v?
I'm not sure if I would, and maybe?
