Preverb marking: Difference between revisions

A proposed {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} glyph for {{tp|ja}} (<span style="display:inline-block;transform:scaleX(-1);">{{sp|lo}}</span>) depicts a rightwards arrow from a vertical bar, similar to a {{w|maplet arrow}} (↦). It is the mirror image of an earlier glyph for {{tp|[[lo]]}} ({{sp|lo}}). It was proposed by jan Pensa in 2024.<ref>{{cite Discord|url=https://discord.com/channels/948448338662010910/951966419283742750/1217103621410521248|channel=sitelen-pona-discussion|server=ma pi nasin sitelen|author=[[jan Pensa]]|username=jpensa|access-date=2024-04-09|quote=I just had an idea for a new (obscure) glyph: Since ja (preverb marker) was designed to work together with lo (preposition marker), why not make it the mirror image of the lo glyph?}}</ref>

'''{{tp|ta}}''' was developed by [[User:Lassc|the keyring system]] in 2023 with inspiration from {{tp|ja}} jan Tepo's {{tp|ni}}. The keyring system intended it as an alternative to {{tp|ja}} without the need to repeat the particle for multiple preverbs, and with more clearly defined semantics to allow any word to be used as a preverb.<ref>{{cite Discord|url=https://discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/340307145373253642/1066926383747575829|channel=pali-musi|server=ma pona pi toki pona|author=kupikoni|username=kupikoni#3673|access-date=2024-02-03|quote=i knew about ja when making ta, but I had complaints about how poorly defined the semantics of content word to pv meaning were and i disliked the idea of repeating the particle for every pv}}</ref>
