==By the books==
In the [[Toki Pona Dictionary (pu)|dictionary section]] of {{pu}}, content words are each defined as adjectives, nouns, or verbs. Other senses of these words can be derived from these definitions. For example, for a content word defined as a verb, possible noun senses include "something that is verbed" and "the act of verbing". This is supplemented by the analysis of using any content word as a [[transitive verb]]: {{tp|A [[li]] B [[e]] C}} means "A causes C to be B".▼
