alente is an obscure joke word meaning "the set of every possible human concept subtracted from the set of concepts already covered by established [T]oki [P]ona words weighted by their relative usage".[1]
A zine, lipu alente, is named after this word.
Etymology
The word alente is derived from ale ante, meaning "everything else".[1]
sitelen pona
A proposed sitelen pona glyph for alente (alente) first appeared with the inclusion of the word in the Fairfax and sitelen seli kiwen fonts. It is derived from overlapping the glyphs for nimi (nimi) and pini (pini), referencing that alente was first described as the "final nimisin".[1]

. ma pona pi toki pona. Discord. "a proposal for a final nimisin: "alente". Etymology "ale + ante". It means the set of every possible human concept subtracted from the set of concepts already covered by established toki pona words weighted by their relative usage. So then you can shoot down anyone proposing another nimisin with "that's just alente, but even nicher!" /j ".
