The {{tp|[[sitelen sitelen]]}} word glyph for {{tp|monsuta}} is derived from the syllable glyphs for {{tp|monsuta}} ({{ss|MONSUTA}}) and the {{tp|sitelen sitelen}} exclamation mark ([[File:Exclamation - sitelen sitelen punctuation symbol drawn by Jonathan Gabel.jpg|x15px]]). It was designed by {{tok|jan Saki}} in 2021 as part of a {{tp|[[nimi ku suli]]}} collaboration project with [[Jonathan Gabel|{{tok|jan Josan}} (Jonathan Gabel)]].<ref>{{cite Telegram|author=jan Saki|Username=ModernUnionist|date=2021-07-25|url=https://t.me/sitelensitelen/834|group={{tp|sitelen sitelen}}|access-date=2024-03-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240318195937/https://t.me/sitelensitelen/834|archive-date=2024-03-18}}<blockquote>Additionally, I did a brainstorm session for monsuta that I actually think turned out very well and I would love to hear your guys’ feedback on. I got the idea when I was writing the syllable version at the top and the ‘mon’ looked like a monster face with a tongue sticking out. So I started there with the addition of teeth then thought to incorporate parts of other syllables. I added the ‘u’ to the top to give the impression of a brow, and the extra line from the ’t’ to accentuate it. I also included an implied ‘a’ line to the side. As it was going I had the idea to integrate the bottom with an exclamation mark because fear, screaming, etc. So yeah I think it turned out pretty well but would love you guys’ opinions.</blockquote></ref><ref>{{cite web|author=[[Gabel, Jonathan]]|date=2021-09-05|url=https://jonathangabel.com/2021/nimi-sin/|title=Designing glyphs - {{tok|sitelen suwi pi nimi ku suli}}|website=jonathangabel.com|access-date=2024-01-22}}</ref>
The body of the {{tp|monsuta}} glyph is a fusion of the {{tp|m}} syllable container ({{ss|M}}) and the {{tp|sitelen sitelen}} exclamation mark ([[File:Exclamation - sitelen sitelen punctuation symbol drawn by Jonathan Gabel.jpg|x15px]]). In it, there is an {{tp|a}} vowel radical ({{ss|A}}) fused with an {{tp|o}} vowel radical ({{ss|O}}), which are overlapped by an {{tp|u}} vowel radical ({{ss|U}}) that is fused with the upper element of the {{tp|t}} syllable container ({{ss|T}}).
