'''{{tp|wuwojiti}}''' is a {{w|mnemonic}} word for the disallowed syllables in [[Toki Pona]] phonotactics: {{tp|*wu}}, {{tp|*wo}}, {{tp|*ji}}, {{tp|*ti}}, and their equivalents with coda nasal. Some uncommon {{tp|[[nimi sin]]}} flout this rule, often as a joke. The word is also uncommonly extended as {{tp|wuwojitinmanna}} to showcase the "no adjacent nasals" rule.
Line 78:
The following chart shows all 92 syllables under Toki Pona phonotactics. Despite that all of these syallbles are hypothetically possible, only 68 of these are used in the {{tp|[[nimi pu]]}}. Additionally, 4 more syllables are used in {{tp|[[nimi ku suli]]}} and 3 more in the {{tp|[[nimi ku lili]]}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/340307145373253642/910477232810647572/unknown.png|title=Every toki pona syllable|website=Discord|author={{tok|jan Talija}}|username=@nehemiagurl|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231113191511/https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/340307145373253642/910477232810647572/unknown.png|archive-date=2023-11-13}}</ref>

==Morae==
The moraic analysis is an alternative phonological analysis in which the basic unit of timing is the {{w|mora}} as opposed to syllables. A mora in Toki Pona, similar to {{w|Latin phonology|Latin}} or {{w|On (Japanese prosody)|Japanese}}, may either be a:
* single vowel (V)
* consonant–vowel pair (CV)
* coda {{tp|n}} (N)
