 +The Nayabaru make a difference between //vowels// and //consonants//.
 +
 +==== Consonants ====
 +
 +The consonants are defined by three segments that have specific **angles** to each other, combined with two possible **strokes**.
 +
 +{{:nayabaru:society:tattoo-stroke-a.png?nolink&60 |}}
 +
 +The //tsha͡um// ("//sharp//") stroke brings the angled segments together in a sharp-tipped manner, each running together as two (or in the rare constellations where more than two segments share a single joint, all three) distinct lines with their own flow.
 +
 +{{:nayabaru:society:tattoo-stroke-b.png?nolink&60 |}}
 +
 +The //fega͡uri// ("//hollow//") stroke brings the segments together as though they were being nestled against an invisible circle at the joint and merges the flow of the segments into an inner curve.
 +
 +The angles themselves are defined through a triangular grid forming a basal hexagon (or for particularly wide-angled ones, two overlapping hexagons).
 +
 +{{ :nayabaru:society:tattoo-grid-basic.png?nolink |}}
 +
 +The **length of individual segments** as well as the **rotation of the entire glyph** are irrelevant. Take for example the letter T. All three of the following arrangements are the letter T:

 +
 +Similarly, for the strokes, the direction of the joint can be arbitrary (although there is usually only one obvious aesthetically pleasing arrangement, unless the joint is combining segments at a 180° angle):
 +
 +| {{:nayabaru:society:tattoo-consonant-tp.png?nolink|}} | {{:nayabaru:society:tattoo-consonant-tp-alt.png?nolink |}} |
 +
 +There are 15 different angular arrangements in use, combining with the two strokes into 30 consonants. Here they are, arranged for ease of human consumption:
