Some speakers propose (or merely personally use) new spellings for existing words, e.g. for closer resemblance to their etymology.
 
===Pre-{{tp|pu}} reforms===
{{Main|Archaic words}}
 
A few words included in {{tp|[[Toki Pona: The Language of Good|pu]]}} underwent changes between their inception and the book being published, namely:
* {{tp|[[ona]]}} from {{tp|iki}}
* {{tp|[[nena]]}} from {{tp|kapa}}
* {{tp|[[noka]]}} from {{tp|jalan}}
 
{{tp|[[ali]]}} was an attempted reform too, but it only succeeded as a variant and not a community-wide replacement.
 
==={{tp|teken}}===
{{tp|teken}} is an alternate form for {{tp|[[sitelen]]}}, derived from Dutch {{wt|teken#Dutch|{{lang|nl|teken}}}} ("sign, symbol, character") instead of {{wt|schilderen#Dutch|{{lang|nl|schilderen}}}} ("to paint").<ref name="asiku-teken">{{cite Discord|username=asiku|server={{tp|ma pona pi toki pona}}|channel={{tok|toki-suli}}|thread={{tok|linja lipamanka}}|url=https://discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/1053850152932233266/1070995609349271623|quote=this {{tok|nimisin}} exists because the word "{{lang|nl|schilderen}}" in dutch does not actually mean what {{tok|sitelen}} means, but the word "{{lang|nl|teken}}" does|author={{tok|jan Asiku}}|access-date=2024-01-17}}</ref> It was first mentioned on {{tp|[[ma pona pi toki pona]]}} by {{tok|jan Kasape}},<ref>{{cite Discord|username=casperdewith|server={{tp|ma pona pi toki pona}}|channel={{tok|musi-ako}}|url=https://discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/786041291707777034/998713553034944632|quote={{tok|lon. mi la, ‘tekenen’ / ‘teken’ li pona mute.}}|author={{tok|jan Kasape}}|access-date=2024-01-17}}</ref> with {{tok|jan Asiku}} being another vocal supporter.
