iki was an early third-person pronoun used instead ona, coined in 2001, when Toki Pona was first published. The word was derived from Georgian იბი (igi).[1] In March 2002, a poll was created in the Yahoo group asking whether iki should be changed as it was "too long and too similar to ike".[2] The proposals for replacing iki included i and ipi.
In a second poll in May 2002,[3] it was decided to change iki to ona.[4]
These nonstandard pronouns are sometimes referenced for historical purposes,[citation needed] and sitelen pona fonts might include them to allow historical texts to be transcribed, or just for completeness. However, the words don't actually see any notable modern use beyond that, and some of these fonts simply alias them to the glyph for ona (ona). In other fonts, their sitelen pona glyphs are derived by altering that glyph.

kan is an obscure early word used to mean "together".[5]

kapa is a marginal early version of nena. It was coined by jan Sonja and was used as far back as the first publicly available dictionary from March 2002. It was replaced by nena in June of the same year.
The etymology of kapa is unknown. Possibilities include Dutch kop and Esperanto kapo, itself from Latin capus, all meaning "head".[6]

jalan is a marginal early version of noka. It was proposed by jan Sonja in 2002 and is derived from Finnish jalan, meaning "on foot", which is the genitive singular form of jalka "foot".[7] This proposal was rejected by a vote, resulting in 1 vote for jalan and 3 votes for keeping noka.[8]
Despite being deprecated and obsolete, the word jalan was featured on lipu tenpo in the article "o jalan!" written by jan Imi.[9]
