A formline design where the base shape is the mask of Hornet from Hollow Knight. Inside the mask is the formline designs- the torso of a spider across the lower face area, clutching an egg with infection droplets trailing down beneath the eyes. On the mask's left horn is a butterfly trailing upwards, with a chrysalis at the tip. On the mask's right horn is a hornet trailing upwards, with a larvae at the tip. The mask is off-white/pale yellow, and the formline designs range in shades from a light orange at the bottom, to a pale to dark salmon in the middle, to a bright red at the top.

Ex: tsanela - chanela - 8
Tsinela - jinela - I live at x
Eastern dialects use the z sound

ᎤᎦᎹ - Ugam @tsulasgigalosgv.bsky.social · 22d

Because the ts phoenetic can indicate three different sounds depending on the context or dialect, ch, j, or z. The sounds also do not exactly sound like how English pronounces them. We also do not have a standardized way of spelling things even in syllabary, so romanization is suspect at times.
