Shortened Words

There are 8 "shortened words" glyphs. They were once written as combinations of separate glyphs, but frequent use of these words has caused the original glyph components to merge into a single, unique glyph. There are also 4 "changer markings" that can change the meaning of a glyph.

There are 36 derived glyphs in Majok. Each glyph is derived from a base glyph, and has a similar meaning.

Derivation Glyphs created by adding a line or changing a curl into a circle tend to be more abstractly / loosely  / vaguely related to the base glyph in terms of meaning, whereas the glyphs derived using some combination of wishorim "similar to" and toma "not" (see the Shortened Words lesson) are slightly closer to the original meaning (Note that the ones listed here are no longer considered a combination of the base glyph and shortened word, but rather are now single glyphs).
