On 2009-04-01 the word ''kijetesantakalu'' got introduced as an April Fool's joke.
==Beyond the books==
Many, many, ''many'' other words have been created, most of which never have been used beyond its creation. It is impossible to find them all.
Nevertheless, an attempt was made in the form of [https://theepicosity.github.io/lipu-pi-ijo-pi-toki-pona/ kule epiku Atawan's ''nimi ale'']. It is an extremely indiscriminate collection, seeking to contain anything that anyone ever declared to be a ''toki pona'' word. As of the last edit<ref>The Table of Contents claims it was last updated in 2020-02-24, but section 2a contains a link to a Discord message posted in '''2021'''-02-13.</ref>, the grand total (across sections 1 through 4) is 1165 words (some with multiple independent definitions). Over half of those are from [https://theepicosity.github.io/lipu-pi-ijo-pi-toki-pona/nimi-ale/NA%20-%202a.txt section 2a], "words in ''[[ma pona pi toki pona]]''", which catalogued every message containing the custom :[[nimisin]]: emote.
A somewhat more conservative list is ''[[lipu Linku]]'', which as of the August 2022 update contains 256 words. Even so, many of them are obscure, with 12 of them scoring 0% in a usage survey.
