User:.hecko/to pon lil
my halfhearted riff on tipunsin, a one-syllable-per-word relex of toki pona
changes:
- initial consonant clusters allowed
- more intuitive word changes
- no extra pronunciation rules
rules
- syllable structure: (s)(p/t/k)(m/n/w/l/j)V(m/n/w/l/j/s)
- no -uw -ow -ij -ej (because english has weird vowels)
- no minpairs of -l and -w (to accomodate dark l; i guess i should ban -ol too then but we're already low on space so)
- no minpairs of -m and -n
example:
- ona li tawa noka kepeken kalama ala, li jo e poki moku source
- → on li taw no kan klam al li jo e poj mo
- (tipunsin) on li tawno ke kawlan li jo e kojmo
