Entry 78 in "nimi pi musi leko": jaki. I got really in my head for this one, and it turned into a bit of a hiatus. A fun fact about the glyph for jaki is that it can be any scribble!

Entry 75 in "nimi pi musi leko": pimeja. What do you think of the dithering around on this image and the last? I don't want to use it for shading an object, but I'm experimenting with it for soft outer edges.

Entry 66 in "nimi pi musi leko": kute. Today's entry took so long because I originally intended this to be a human ear. If you want to know how that went, you may notice that the image is a fox ear, not a human ear!

Entry 64 in "nimi pi musi leko": o. Hey, listen! Today's entry gets an asterisk it's somewhat inaccurate. o is used to address others, but also to turn sentences into commands. In toki pona, you'd hear Navi say "o kute!" quite often~

Entry 63 in "nimi pi musi leko": mu. Today's entry gets an asterisk because "mu" can mean any animal sound: mew, bark, hiss, neigh... Even the fox's signature scream, though "a" might be appropriate there instead!

Entry 60 in "nimi pi musi leko": sinpin. That's the end of Pear & Table, and would be the end of page 6 if I hadn't switched those two words a couple days ago. But I did, so the full page collage will have to wait!
