Line 1: ~~{{DISPLAYTITLE:~~{{tp title\|melome~~}} and {{tp~~\|mijomi}}}} ~~{{Needs work}}~~ {{nimi\|melome \| PoS = content word }} {{nimi\|mijomi \| PoS = content word }} '''{{tp\|melome}}''' and '''{{tp\|mijomi}}''' are obscure {{tp\|[[nimi sin]]}} for {{w\|gay}} {{w\|Romantic orientation\|romantic}} or {{w\|sexual orientation}}s, respectively {{wtwikt\|sapphic}} (lesbian) and {{wtwikt\|achillean}} (gay man). ==Etymology== The words {{tp\|melome}} and {{tp\|mijomi}} were coined by {{tok\|[[jan inwin]]}} in 2017 and are derived from [[Acronyms#nimi sin\|shortening]] the phrases {{tp\|~~[[meli]]~~<u>mel</u>i [[pi]] ~~[[olin]]~~<u>o</u>lin ~~meli~~<u>me</u>li}} ("women-loving woman") and {{tp\|~~[[mije]]~~<u>mij</u>e pi ~~olin~~<u>o</u>lin ~~mije~~<u>mi</u>je}}, ~~direct translations of English {{abbr\|WLW\|women-loving women}} and {{abbr\|MLM\|~~("men-loving ~~men}}~~man").{{citation needed~~\|date=2023-11-30~~}} =={{tp\|sitelen pona}}== The {{tp\|[[sitelen pona]]}} glyphs for {{tp\|melome}} ({{sps\|melome}}) and {{tp\|mijomi}} ({{sps\|mijomi}}) are derive from the glyphs for {{tp\|[[meli]]}} and {{tp\|[[mije]]}}, respectively, with the head radical being replaced with the glyph for {{tp\|[[olin]]}}. In {{tp\|melome}}, the radical for {{tp\|olin}} is inverted upside-down to avoid confusion with {{tp\|nena olin}}. ==See also== * {{tp\|[[kese]]}} * {{tp\|[[kule]]}} ==Further reading== * {{R:Linku\|melome}} * {{R:Linku\|mijomi}} {{Words}}
