One essay{{citation needed|date=2024-04-06|reason=whose? Is this {{tok|jan Olipija}}'s blog?}} calls the words a sign of "an internal contradiction" between Toki Pona as "the language of the community" and Toki Pona as "inextricably linked to the works of {{tok|[[jan Sonja]]}}", and argues that they reveal {{w|Linguistic prescriptivism|prescriptivist}} tendencies.<ref name="reasonable redefinition" />
Conflicts with Toki Pona's [[philosophy]] and [[grammar]] have also been perceived, from arguments about [[Minimalism|word count allocation]],<ref name="reasonable redefinition" /> to the words effectively functioning as {{w|proper noun}}s and not standard names. However, the book words have also been defended on these fronts. Regarding the word {{tp|pu}} in 2017, {{tok|[[jan Misali]]}} asserted that Toki Pona is "the sort of language that would have the goal of having as few words as possible but then add an extra word [[Joke words|as a joke]]."<ref>{{sect|Source:jan Misali's thoughts on words#pu|Source:{{tok|jan Misali}}'s thoughts on words#pu}}</ref>
