Preface

This is an attempt to establish a system of inorganic and organic chemical nomenclature in Toki Pona. It is written to test how good Toki Pona is at naming scientific (specifically chemical) concepts using as few neologisms as possible.

To aid reading, Toki Pona text or text meant to be written in Toki Pona will be marked in a template, such as toki pona li lon lipu ni. The reader may set a custom CSS syntax for the language code if italics text is insufficient.

Standard examples are shown in green, while nonstandard examples are shown in red and acceptable but not favored examples are shown in gray. All occurences of nimisins (Toki Pona neologisms, see nimisins) used in this document are shown in blue and are linked to their definitions in nimisins.

The names of all chemical elements and compounds will follow the IUPAC standard unless otherwise stated. The reader is reminded that this nomenclature set out in this page is not the only option, and that lexicalization is discouraged. However, should any consistency errors appear in this document, please inform me.

Basic nomenclature

Elements

An element (ijo nasin pi wan Atomo) is a substance in which all of its atoms have the same number of protons.

The Toki Pona names of all 118 known elements are shown in the table below (Z = atomic number).

When referring to these elements, ijo nasin [name] or ijo [name] can be used. This document will use ijo [name] throughout.

Numerals

See the article Number systems for more information.

There are four official numerals in pu, ala (no; zero), wan (one), tu (two) and mute (at least three). A more systematic number system is used by a big part of the Toki Pona community, in which luka is redefined as five, mute as twenty, and ale/ali as one hundred. Numerals are strung together and ordered from largest to smallest. For example, seven is luka tu, and thirty six is mute luka luka luka wan.

However, two more numerals are featured in ku, san and po, as nimi ku pi suli ala. They mean three and four, and replace tu wan and tu tu, respectively. This document will use the numerals ala, wan, tu, san, po, luka, mute and ale throughout.

The reader is reminded that any number system is acceptable as long as it can be understood.
