fitting lántas into a strictly eight-pixel high font was… difficult. and involved a lot of special-casing. it would be a huge hassle to get a computer to do it automatically.

anyway let's get to it

:::aside
btw, `{!nakasnai}`, literally "anything and anything", means "everything". i forgot which language i stole that from, sorry.

it can be shortened to `{!násna}`, and its derived forms `{!nakasnala}` "every" and `{!nakasnanua}` "always" can be shortened to `{!násná}` [(ending with a long vowel)]{.note} and `{!násnua}` respectively.
