=={{tp|sitelen pona}}==
The {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} glyph for {{tp|wa}} ({{sps|wa}}) is derived from the punctuation stem [[radical]] with the {{w|Latin script|Latin}} letter W below, inspired by other glyphs for interjections, such as {{tp|[[a]]}}, {{tp|[[kin]]}}, {{tp|[[n]]}}, and {{tp|[[o]]}}. The ''W'' is typically written rounder rather than angular, similar to the glyph for {{tp|[[wile]]}}.
