TLWAELO

→ NORMAL

The ordinary text style — neither heavy nor slanted.

TLWAELO

You hand it to mokgwaWaMokwalo. It is the default, so mostly you use it to go back to ordinary type after a TIISA or an ITHALIKI.

One word, two jobs. Lower-case tlwaelo is the name of default inside tlhopha — the branch taken when nothing else matches. Upper-case TLWAELO is the ordinary text style. In Setswana it is one word meaning one thing: the usual one. Bopa tells them apart by capitals, as it does for every value name — and TLWAELO is never translated to default, either.
