syllable 7: the hat
punctuation

syllable 1: the mouth

since the first syllable can sometimes be a vowel on its own (i.e. "ike"), the base of the mouth is the vowel, unlike the other 6 syllables, which use the consonant as a base and the vowel as an add-on. below is each mouth shape, next to the vowel it represents.

the consonant is represented by tongue + teeth in the mouth.

no tongue: k p t
tongue in mouth: w l j
tongue out: m n s

the first of each group (k w m) has one tooth, the second (p l n) has two teeth, and the third (t j s) has three teeth.

syllable-final "n" is drawn as a "chin" beneath the mouth, as seen in the examples below.

the extra space in mouths is often filled in to make it easier to read.

for one-syllable words, those entirely represented with the mouth, draw two eyebrowless eyelashless dots above it to complete the face.

syllables 2+3: the eyes

note: the second syllable is the left eye (from the perspective of the reader/facing the face) and the third is the right.

the consonant is represented by the eye shape + the eyebrow shape. there are three eye shapes and three eyebrow shapes, seen below.

eye shape 1: k p t
eye shape 2: w l j
eye shape 3: m n s

the first (k w m) get eyebrow 1, the second (p l n) get eyebrow 2, and the third (t j s) get eyebrow 3.

syllable final "N" is drawn as a line under the eye.

vowels are represented as eyelashes.

examples:

if there is only one eye (3 syllable word), fill in the other side of the head with an eye of the same shape, but with no eyebrow or eyelashes.

syllable 4: the nose

the consonant is the base shape of the nose. there are three types: a triangular nose, a circle nose, and a square nose.

triangular: k p t

circle: w l j

square: m n s

the first of each group (k w m) are short noses, the second (p l n) are short noses with a bridge, and the third (t j s) are long noses.

syllable final "N" is drawn as nostrils.

the vowel is a nose ring. ("a" is unmarked/implied.)

examples:

syllables 5+6: the ears

note: the syllables are read in the same direction as the eyes (left to right).

the consonant is the shape of the ear + the inside of the ear. there are three of each of these.

ear shape 1: k p t

ear shape 2: w l j

ear shape 3: m n s

the first (k w m) get the first inside, the second (p l n) get the second inside, and the third (t j s) get the third inside.

syllable-final N is drawn as an earring on the top of the ear.

vowels are drawn as earrings on the bottom of the ear.

examples

if there is only one ear (5 syllable word), fill in the other side of the head with an ear of the same shape, but with no inside or earrings.

syllable 7: the hat

the consonant is drawn as the shape of the hat + the shape on top. there are 3 hat shapes and 3 top shapes.

as you could probably guess based off of the previous syllables, this is how the consonants go:

hat 1: k p t

hat 2: w l j

hat 3: m n s

the first (k w m) get the first top, the second (p l n) get the second top, and the third (t j s) get the third top.

syllable final "N" is drawn as a tassel hanging from the bottom of the hat.

vowels are drawn as stripes on the hat.

examples

punctuation

punctuation is written as faces much like words, but their features/lack thereof make them distinct from the faces.
