The Nova

The Nova has no sound and does not change the sound of any other star or planet - it serves only to visually draw attention or to indicate an emphasis. It has a Planetary form and four Stellar forms: one atop, one within for Greater glyphs, one below for the first infixion level, and one further below that. The Stellar forms act as capitalization, whereas the planetary form is written on both sides of the word or phrase to emphasize and is best understood as underlining. Please refer to the punctuation section for more.

If you want to capitalize something, the nova generally goes wherever it can fit on the glyph to be capitalized; you can only place a nova on the glyph you want to capitalize.

Because the upper part of the glyph is likely to be taken up, the nova would have to go beneath.

Sometimes the nova will fit above nicely:

And sometimes not. If it doesn't fit, you can place a single nova before the word on a mountain carrier, or move things around a bit to make room; the preferable one is whichever one you think looks nicer.
