Proper Pu is a nasin of an unknown origin[citation needed]. It involves turning all words that mean in relation to an Official Toki Pona book ([pu,ku,su,ju,lu,nu, and u) into proper modifiers. This is done to reflect that these words can be considered names. If the word is being used as a verb would be, it is instead replaced by a similar phrase in which it would be a proper modifier. Optionally, the sitelen pona glyphs for these words may be replaced with a different name writing method. This is not done against Sonja Lang or any of her works.
Examples
mi lukin e lipu[pu].mi lukin e lipu Pu.
I read from Toki Pona: The Language of Good
nimi suli pi lipu [pu] li pona.nimi suli pi lipu Pu li pona.
the important words of the Toki Pona Dictionary are good.
