Line 6:
*'''Stacked:''' The modifier glyph goes above the head glyph. {{tp|kala lili}} becomes {{sp|kala^lili|font="sitelen seli kiwen asuki"}}.
*'''Scaled:''' The modifier glyph goes inside of the head glyph. {{tp|kala lili}} becomes {{sp|kala*lili|font="sitelen seli kiwen asuki"}}. To allow for scalar combination, the head glyph generally must contain a single, sufficiently large, main {{w|negative space}}.
==Grammatical restrictions==
Many speakers limit combined glyphs to a head and the first modifier, as described in {{tp|pu}}. This has been used for disambiguation, such as the sentence {{tp|mi pana e tomo tawa sina}}: {{sp|mi pana e<mark>tomo-tawa</mark>sina}} clarifies that {{tp|<mark>tomo tawa</mark> sina}} is a noun phrase where {{tp|tawa}} is a modifier ("I give your moving room"), instead of {{tp|tawa sina}} being a [[preposition]]al phrase ("I give a room to you").<ref>{{cite web|url=//musilili.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/LinjaPona_Presentation-03-03.jpg|title=LinjaPona Presentation-03-03.jpg|author=|username=|date=|website={{tp|musi lili}}|publisher=|access-date=|quote=}}</ref>
Some speakers have experimented with extending combined glyphs to other situations, such as [[preverb]]s and their main verbs, or prepositions followed by one-word phrases. In the latter case, {{sp|tomo tawa+sina|font="linja lipamanka"}} is even more distinct from {{sp|tomo-tawa sina|font="linja lipamanka"}}. However, prepositions are increasingly clarified with [[extended glyph]]s instead ({{sp|tomo tawa(sina)}}), or adjusting the preposition glyph to evoke the extension line ({{sp|tomo tawa() sina}}).
