The semantic space of linja includes long, linelike, flexible objects such as string, rope, hair, and fiber. lipamanka's dictionary presents bendability and knottability as tests of whether something is linja.[2]

linja lawa mi li sulilinja lawa mi li suli.
My hair on my head is long.
By analogy, linja may also refer to a sequence or chain of objects. In common usage, it is also used to describe sitelen pona typefaces, as the edges of glyphs are defined by flexible Bézier curves (and could "knot" through self-intersection).
