Re: Whistled Toki Pona

Silbo gomero isn't a practical code even for spanish. It has a niche application (long-distance simple communication over empty expanses of mountain ranges). Out of that that it's just a curiosity.

Re: Musical system - toki pi kalama musi or tkpm

The explanation is too technic, but the practice is potentially intuitive once learned. Nevertheless, it is absolutely impractical. It is more of a game than a serious proposal.

Well, while new words for a full set of digits are sanctioned by the community, we can still use the tools we already have.

We can express numbers 0 to 9 already: wan, tu, tu-wan, tu-tu, luka, luka-wan, luka-tu, luka-tu-wan, luka-tu-tu. Just spell the numbers in their respective positions...
