Re: A couple of trends
re: reduplication as intensification When toki pona, in its small toolbox has a toki pona way of doing something, normatively, we should do that. So pona kin is better than pona pona or pona mute mute. But the corpus so far disagrees a good percent of the time-- maybe it is a creole universal. The ...

Re: I propose reducing Toki Pona to a single word:
Too restrictive. Keep the particles, so:
o Mu! mu la mu pi mu mu li mu mu e mu, kepeken mu, sama mu, tawa mu, lon mu, poka mu.
That pretty much sums up everything I've ever said in toki pona.
I guess pi is sort of redundant now, since it is always some sort of pi mu mu.
o Mu! mu la mu pi mu mu li mu mu e mu, kepeken mu, sama mu, tawa mu, lon mu, poka mu.
That pretty much sums up everything I've ever said in toki pona.

There was the clafouti/Clafotis recipe: https://web.archive.org/web/20081117070621/http://pokipitokipona.free.fr/moku.html toki pona instructions + pictures = clear enough.

Re: mi pali e lipu mute sona tawa toki pona
The parser does a good job of catching mistakes. If you create an account, you can save texts and provide the world with a link & then they can read your text colorized (different colors for different parts of speech).

Medical conlang challenge: You've all heard about people who have multi-year episodes of total body paralysis, often only leaving them in control of their eye blinks. What would be a handy "prestige script" would be a way to map eyeblinks to toki pona. Morse code comes to mind, but that ha...

Forum up again
The PHP version was updated and broke the forum for about 1/3 of a year. It looks like it works again. As soon as someone responds to this I'll know if notifications and email in general works again.

Re: nasin sewi
Is nanpa in a class of it's own (and can start phrases)? Or is this like the invisible li between mi/sina and the verb? Maybe something that implies a grammatical rule: telo nasa la nasin tu li sama pi ala kin. (An emphatic negation, an opposite-- a maximal opposite-- a polar opposite) 5th precept. ...
