Admittedly not confirmed but, plausible: 'open pali e sitelen suwi' (why 'suwi'?)

In this usage, I think it has to be 'pi nanpa' since it is count, not order. Yeah, we need a word for the "approximately" "about," too.

Perhaps it is time to decide what to call those drawings. I've used suwi so far because it doesn't seem presumptuous while still distinguishing them from other heiroglyphic toki pona scripts. As jan Mato pointed out it works as an obvoius idiom. Perhaps not the best way to describe them though. I've also thought of sitelen sike (for bubble drawings) or sitelen poki, in reference to the contianer system that they use. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure I understand: lipu toki pi nimi nanpa mute... or lipu toki kepeken nimi pi nanpa mute...

"Hieroglyph" has always struck me as an odd word for a genus of scripts, since it means "priests' carvings" or so and does nothing for a description of what is going on linguistically or orthographically. To move from that to "holy/sacred/spiritual writing" seems even more odd -- though quite in line with the late Renaissance fate of Egyptian inscriptions. And, of course, "picture writing" doesn't quite capture this (or any other) system well, since few are pictures of anything and those are often used for other than representing what they picture. "Ideographs" has the same problems. jan Mato seems to have covered most of the territory nicely after that (although, of course, "petroglyph" doesn't apply either). 'lukin; might be better than 'oko' for "visible/visual"
I kinda like 'sitelen sitelen'; however you parse it, it makes appropriate sense.

(roughy, we have -- in scientific contexts -- kalama (sound/phone), kalama sona/toki (phoneme), kalama lili (syllable -- I'm not sure why this break), nimi (word), 'kulupu nimi (phrase -- at least word string).. kulupu nimi pini (sentence -- tp doesn't have clauses other than sentences, so there is no separate word for "clause").

'nimi nanpa mute' means "the manieth word" -- i.e., one far along in some order (beyond second, in tp), 'nimi pi nanpa mute' directly means "word of many numbers" but that is capable of being read (given permission to do so) as "many words," a way to sneak large numbers into tp, eventually. I'm not sure I think this is the best way to do it, but itis possible. Of course, the direct way (given we have the number words to do it) is just 'nimi mute,' without 'nanpa,' and that seems the best advice here, since 'mute' is apparently being used in the unfortunate Sonja concession sense of some precise larger number (score? I forget).

This is nice, in that it would could allow:
sitelen toki - which would include any visual system based on language (alphabets, hieroglyphs, character sets, etc.)
sitelen oko - visual arts -- drawing and painting
(And not to push it too far, but similar devisions for picto-phonetic, indicative, associative, etc. may be possible)

Yes, now I see what a slippery slope these non-recommended numbers are.
