On 8 July, a forum user named Viktoro proposed the idea of turningconverting Toki Pona into a [[three-vowel]] language. Lang explored the idea, but ultimately rejected it.<ref>{{cite web|author=vixcafe|date=2002-07-09|url=http://forums.tokipona.org/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=52|title=New lessons coming soon! / Trivocalic - Toki Pona Forums|website=Toki Pona Forums|access-date=2023-11-19}}</ref> However, in the [[nimi pu#Main words|set of 120 main words]] that would ultimately be included in {{pu|en}}, there are no [[minimal pair]]s between {{IPA|/e~i/}} or between {{IPA|/o~u/}}, which led the [[phonology]] to be described as practically a three-vowel system before {{ku}}.
 
On 16 July, Lang published the Toki Pona phonetic conversion guidelines.<ref>{{cite web|author=Sonja Lang|date=2002-07-16|url=http://forums.tokipona.org/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=61|title=How to convert a name into Toki Pona? - Toki Pona Forums|website=Toki Pona Forums|access-date=2023-11-19}}</ref> Some proper names for countries were updated, such as France becoming {{tp|ma Kanse}} instead of the previous {{tp|ma Lanse}}.<ref name="old-country-names"/>
