When referring to these elements, {{tp|ijo nasin [name]}} or {{tp|ijo [name]}} can be used. This document will use {{tp|ijo [name]}} throughout.
 
Approaches that do not use proper names exist, such as [https://www.reddit.com/r/tokipona/comments/riz957/nimi_pi_wan_ijo_periodic_table_in_toki_pona this Reddit post] by jan Melon.

The reader is reminded that any number system is acceptable as long as it can be understood.
 
=== Tokiponization ===
 
: ''See the section [[Names#Tokiponization]] for more information.''
 
Tokiponization is the act of transcribing a foreign word into Toki Pona's phonology and phonotactics. All words created this way act as adjectives and must describe another word, usually a noun. For specific rules about Tokiponization, see [[#Rules for transcription into Toki Pona|Rules for transcription into Toki Pona]].
 
When Tokiponizing chemical terminology, make sure it can be expressed as other words (Tokiponized or not), so although <span style="color: gray;">{{tp|ijo Itokapon}}</span> and <span style="color: green;">{{tp|ijo Itoken Kapon}}</span> are both acceptable names for hydrocarbon, <span style="color: green;">{{tp|ijo Itoken Kapon}}</span> is prioritized.
 
If, however, a term must be Tokiponized and it cannot be expressed with other Tokiponized terms, Latin (or New Latin) takes precedence over any other language, so alkane, alkene and alkyne use <span style="color: green;">{{tp|Akan}}</span>, <span style="color: green;">{{tp|Aken}}</span> and <span style="color: green;">{{tp|Akin}}</span> respectively, and not <span style="color: red;">{{tp|Aken}}</span>, <span style="color: red;">{{tp|Akin}}</span> and <span style="color: red;">{{tp|Akan}}</span> as in English.
 
According to Tokiponization rules, related proper nouns become the same adjective in Toki Pona. Therefore, as sulphur is {{tp|ijo Supu}}, sulphuric acid is <span style="color: green;">{{tp|[[#apo|apo]] Supu}}</span> instead of <span style="color: red;">{{tp|[[#apo|apo]] supuli}}</span>.
 
The special rules for Tokiponizing words through Latin (or New Latin) are as follows:
* ''b'', ''f'' and ''ph'' become {{tp|p}}.
* ''d'' and ''th'' become {{tp|t}}.
* ''g'' and ''c'' become {{tp|k}}.
* ''y'' becomes {{tp|j}}.
* ''r'' becomes {{tp|l}}, from the trilled [r].
* ''x'', ''z'' and ''sh'' become {{tp|s}}.
* ''h'' becomes {{tp|w}} or {{tp|j}} depending on the next vowel. If the next vowel is ''a'' or ''e'', ''h'' becomes {{tp|w}}. Any ''h'' at the start of a word is omitted.
 
==== Vowel clusters ====
 
The table below shows which syllable(s) should be used when merging a vowel cluster between two roots.
 
{| class="wikitable" style="margin: auto; width: 50%;"
| colspan="2" rowspan="2" |
! colspan="5" rowspan="1" | First vowel
|-
| a || e || i || o || u
|-
! colspan="1" rowspan="5" | Second<br>vowel
| a || {{tp|a}}/{{tp|aja}} || {{tp|aje}} || {{tp|awi}} || {{tp|ajo}} || {{tp|aju}}
|-
| e || {{tp|eja}} || {{tp|e}}/{{tp|eje}} || {{tp|ewi}} || {{tp|ejo}} || {{tp|eju}}
|-
| i || {{tp|ija}} || {{tp|ije}} || {{tp|i}}/{{tp|iwi}} || {{tp|ijo}} || {{tp|iju}}
|-
| o || {{tp|owa}} || {{tp|owe}} || {{tp|owi}} || {{tp|o}}/{{tp|ojo}} || {{tp|oju}}
|-
| u || {{tp|uwa}} || {{tp|uwe}} || {{tp|uwi}} || {{tp|ujo}} || {{tp|u}}/{{tp|uju}}
|}
 
For two identical consecutive vowels, the shorter combination is to be used unless doing so would compromise interpretability.
