====Usage notes====<br />
While ''jan'' is the typical head noun for names of people, some speakers prefer to name themselves with other head nouns. A philosophy called "''jan't''" avoids using ''jan'' for anyone who does not explicitly want it. These speakers may reduce phrases like ''jan mute'' to ''mute'', or replace ''jan'' alone with {{m|tok|ijo}} or {{m|tok|soweli}}.<br />
