 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:

+==== Vowels ====
+Vowels are (potential) combining glyphs, often drawn across the segments of consonents to bind them together. The following vowels have established glyphs:
+^ A | {{:nayabaru:society:tattoo-vowel-a.png?direct&50|}} ^ E | {{:nayabaru:society:tattoo-vowel-e.png?direct&50|}} ^ I | {{:nayabaru:society:tattoo-vowel-i.png?direct&50|}} ^ O | {{:nayabaru:society:tattoo-vowel-o.png?direct&50|}} ^ U | {{:nayabaru:society:tattoo-vowel-u.png?direct&50|}} ^ Y | {{:nayabaru:society:tattoo-vowel-y.png?direct&50|}} |
+Arbitrary vowels can be combined into digraphs (e.g. here into the fantasy digraph //yu//):
+{{ :nayabaru:society:tattoo-vowel-yu.png?nolink&100 |}}
+It's worth emphasising that vowels do **not** need to be drawn with a bridging element, although this is often done. See the examples section for visual examples of the difference.
+==== Consonant Glyphs ====
 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:

+===== Examples =====
+Given the rotational freedom of consonant glyphs, the arbitrary length of segments //in// consonant glyphs, and the choice whether or not to use a bridging element in vowels and whether or not to use them as consonant brackets, Nayabaru have vast freedoms in expressing titles in aesthetically pleasing ways. As an example, the title //[[:nayabaru:society:title|Hesh]]// could be rendered so //(E without a bridging element, bracketing an each well-proportioned H and SH)//:
+{{ :nayabaru:society:tattoo-hesh-rendition-1.png }}
+Or like this //(stand-alone E with a bridging element, SH with one segment exaggeratedly long, H well-proportioned)//:
+{{ :nayabaru:society:tattoo-hesh-rendition-2.png }}
+Or like this //(E with a bridging element, bracketing an each well-proportioned H and SH)//:
+{{ :nayabaru:society:tattoo-hesh-rendition-3.png }}
