MOKWALO

→ TEXT

The cursor shown over text that can be selected.

MOKWALO

You hand it to khesara. It is the thin upright I-beam — on the web it means you can type here, or this text can be selected.

One word, two jobs. Lower-case mokwalo is the name of str, and it is also the type label “text” in every parameter table. Upper-case MOKWALO is a cursor shape. That is deliberate: where a function and a value stand for the same idea, Bopa gives them the same Setswana word, told apart by capitals. It is not the first time: degrees/DEGREES and radians/RADIANS do exactly this.
