sitelen pona[edit | edit source]
The most common sitelen pona glyph for omen (omen) resembles that of sina (sina) but with an extra upwards line at a slight diagonal. It may represent the OK gesture, with the circle representing the index finger and thumb touching, instead of the main part of the hand as in the pronoun glyphs.
