janTepanNetaPelin o ! sina jo e sona pona
monsuta without
ijo is a great idea ! Just the teeth could work
(I didn't think about the compound glyph implementation)
I though about
namako having three lines on top, but I proposed another one of my propositions which I though was simpler to write.
Yeah
kin and
pata need some work,
I was thinking that
a star for
kin could be good idea ?
and some sort of representation of
“two halves” for
pata.
What do you think ?

jan Same o,
"star"/"asterisk" for "birth"/"beginning"/"new" is probably not international enough. Maybe. Looking at a (the synonym of kin), I could imagine an exclamation mark with an asterisk instead of the dot (or "a" in the case of a).
I'm not sure what to do with pata...

Toki!
I present you my
“final selection” which are the glyph people have liked the most, as you can see I haven't included
“apeja” and
“pata”.
I've made corrections on four glyphs with the help of your suggestions:
•
“kin” (didn't want another “stress marker” but in the end this might be what works the best.)
•
“kipisi” (I put it on the side, now no need to worry about confusion with “lon”.)
•
“monsuta” (Like suggested, I've only kept the sharp teeth. This will make creating compound words like “jan monsuta” easier to make.)
•
“oko“ (Glyph created thanks to jan Kipo's suggestion of making it an eye seen from the side, I like the result.)
What do you think ?

Well, I still don't like the proliferation of exclamation points ad 'namako' may be too like 'sin' even if they have some common features semantically, but in general this is a very nice answer to the problem of the missing hieroglyphs.

pona!
I like how your "oko" has similar elements like "ken", so the style is preserved. Good work!

Thank you
It was really hard to find the right glyph for oko !
I just made a post about the propositions in the toki pona Facebook group,
I hope they will like them
