Re: Some missing words

What about using 'sike mute'/'sike lili' for old/young sike mute would imply that somebody has gone through many rotations (sike) around the sun, & sike few rotations. jan pi sike e suno mute (or 'jan pi sike mute' for short) would be an old person, & jan pi sike e suno lili/jan pi sike lili...

Re: Some missing words

I don't remember learning that you can't use 'e' within a 'pi' phrase. is there a specific lesson? Not doubting, just out of curiousity. What is the alternative used for age? Using sike was suggested long ago, but I forget who it was.

Re: Sign language?

The official(?) toki luka is at http://tokipona.net/tp/janpije/signlanguage.php. It's missing signs for the "deprecated" words that many people still use, but includes signs for letters so you can spell out names.

Re: Word Idea For Triangle - Sanku

I honestly think we need to stop with trying to keep it at 120. "pu" is such an uneeded word, "esun" (in my opinion) could do with some revamping, and the kulupu already uses words that lipu pi toki pona (pu) says don't really count as words. Of course keeping it simple is great...

Re: T-shirts available!

why not use the opportunity to put some phrases/quotes/whatever on them written in linja pona? I don't know what you'd choose, but. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to come up with something.

Re: ع - Arabic script for Toki Pona poetry

If you want a version without diacritics you can basically just use the Sorani Kurdish keyboard. I like the version with harakāt (diacritics) but haven't found a language/keyboard layout that lets me input the diacritics should I want to. The Kurdish version uses long vowels (full letters instead of...

Re: ع - Arabic script for Toki Pona poetry

In toki pona there are two more vowels - e and o. o (on) could be marked exactly as u (un). e (en) is more difficult: in a first syllable it is like a (an), otherwise it is like i (in), i.e tenpo - طًبُ ken - كً kin - كٍ seme - صَمِ lete - لَطِ ala - عَلَ al(e/i) - عَلِ Now the hokku with full set ...
