==Style==
In addition to {{tp|[[nimi ku suli]]}}, the word {{tp|[[majuna]]}}, which was classified as a {{tp|[[nimi ku lili]]}}, appears three times in the book.<ref>{{cite Discord|username=sonjalang|server={{tp|ma pona pi toki pona}}|channel={{tok|toki-pona}}|url=https://discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/301377942062366741/1203592774767607839|quote=some {{tok|su}} trivia: it uses {{tok|majuna}} 3 times.

The credits page uses {{tp|[[nasin nanpa pona]]}} to denote the copyright year.<ref name="some-things">{{cite Discord|username=sonjalang|server={{tp|ma pona pi toki pona}}|channel={{tok|toki-pona}}|url=https://discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/301377942062366741/1203598519240360056|quote=things included in '''{{tok|su}}''':  {{tok|nasin nanpa pona}} (developed by {{tok|jan Tepo}} and {{tok|jan Kapilu}}), the word ''{{tok|majuna}}'', the alt glyph for ''{{tok|mute}}'' that looks like 4 hands (used when the meaning is 20)|author={{tok|[[jan Sonja]]}}|access-date=2024-02-05}}</ref>

===Specific to {{tp|sitelen pona}}===
''Oz'' spotlighted a preexisting<ref>{{cite web|url=https://oddlingo.github.io/einstein.pdf|title=sona nasa pi jan Antan|trans-title=Einstein's strange theory|lang=tok|author=David A. Roberts ({{tok|jan Tepu}})|date=2022-02-10|website=Readings in Toki Pona|publisher=|access-date=2024-03-15|quote=}}</ref> but little-known style of shortening [[name]]s to their first glyph after their first occurrence in a given chapter. For example, Dorothy's name may be either written as:

{{Example
|jan Towasi
|
|jan [tomo olin wile alasa suwi ijo]
}} 

{{Example
|jan Towasi
|
|jan [tomo]
}}

A few words use different glyphs than the ones introduced in {{pu}} or {{ku}}. Some of them have two variants used for different sub-meanings: {{tp|[[mute]]}} is written with the pu-style ({{sp|mute}}) for "many", but with four hand radicals ({{sp|mute2}}) for "twenty",<ref name="some-things" /><ref name="mute-example" /> and {{tp|[[sewi]]}} uses the religious ({{sp|sewi}}) and [[Secular sewi|secular]] ({{sp|sewi2}}) forms as appropriate.<ref name="notes-on-lipu-su">{{cite notes on su}}</ref><ref name="sewi-example" />

The book uses {{tp|[[pi]]}} ({{sp|pi}}) as a standalone glyph rather than employing a [[long pi|long {{tp|pi}}]]. Corner brackets are used as [[sitelen pona#Quotation marks|quotation marks]] for dialogue. No other punctuation is used. Sentences start with a new line, and for long sentences that span multiple lines, [[Particles#Sentence-structuring|sentence-structuring particles]] are [[vertical alignment|aligned vertically]].
