Hello Samir,Tuesday, May 4, 2004, 10:51:32 AM, you wrote:SR> For example, "ike" can be replaced with "pona ala". "awen" can be replacedwith "tawa ala".Yeah, and this too. Afaik, Esperanto earlier used to have no anthonims(or however it spells in english) - all words of opposite meaning werecreated by adding mal-. If we copy this tendention to toki pona, thevocabulary would dramatically decrease.P.S. It's all just plain theoretical discussion. Don't think i'm goingto really change something in toki pona.--Best regards, Goren mailto:g0ren@mail.ru
