'''{{tp|eliki}}''' is {{a category}} [[content word]] and {{tp|[[nimi sin]]}} relating to immutable characteristics about oneself that can cause pain or distress.<ref>{{cite Discord|name=kulupu telo mun|username=saturniidaemon|url=https://discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/375591429608570881/1072666397626335242|channel={{tok|sona-musi}}|server={{tp|ma pona pi toki pona}}}}</ref> It was coined by {{tok|kulupu telo mun}} in 2023.
==Etymology==
The word {{tp|eliki}} is derived from {{w|Cherokee language|Cherokee}} {{lang|chr|ᎡᎯᏍᏗ}} (''{{lang|chr-Latn|ehisdi}}''), meaning "pain, distress".
==Semantic space==
{{tok|jan Salinsen}} (also known as {{tok|waso suno}}) defined {{tp|eliki}} as such:<ref>{{cite Discord|name={{tok|jan Salinsen}}|username=starlingmelody|url=https://discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/1136414293638795305/1137456607861678180|thread={{tok|eliki li seme tawa sina?}}|channel={{tok|toki-suli}}|server={{tp|ma pona pi toki pona}}}}</ref>

It is intended "to help people describe a range of identities and experiences important to them" that may not be sufficiently described by {{tp|[[pakala]]}}, {{tp|[[pona]]}}, {{tp|[[ike]]}}, {{tp|[[nasa]]}}, or other words. As such, specific usage varies between speakers. {{tp|eliki}} generally describes immutable characteristics that can cause pain or distress but should be viewed as value-neutral or have become part of one's identity. It is often used for disabilities for which a cure is unpresent or unwanted.
According to a document created by {{tok|kulupu telo mun}}, the factors that define the semantic space of {{tp|eliki}} appear to be:<ref>{{cite web|name={{tok|kulupu telo mun}}|url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Xo4a6AgFOCAav-pFn8kCfwxZYBoFw2bOPQqhpiIWxCc/preview|title={{tok|eliki la}} redefining|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231002202045/https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Xo4a6AgFOCAav-pFn8kCfwxZYBoFw2bOPQqhpiIWxCc/preview|archive-date=2 October 2023|website=Google Docs|date=14 July 2023}}</ref>
<blockquote>
* chronicity
* the long term effects of the experience
* the importance of the experience to identity
* nature vs nurture
* not implicitly having negative connotations, (more comfortable for some speakers?)
* moving away from implicitly negative language to describe body and behavior traits, combating ableism and internalized ableism
* being able to speak about deeper things such as poverty or systemic oppression with a focus on how they effect the person and how that can be mitigated
* still leaving room for the user to describe it as {{tok|ike}}, {{tok|pona}}, {{tok|pakala}}, {{tok|nasa}}, etc however they like
</blockquote>
The philosophy of {{tp|eliki}} is similar to {{w|identity-first language}} (for example, "autistic person", "Deaf person"), which certain disabled communities prefer to {{w|person-first language}} ("person with …"), because their {{tp|eliki}} are an inseparable part of who they are.
=={{tp|sitelen pona}}==
The {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} glyph for {{tp|eliki}} ({{spt|eliki}}) consists of a dot between two vertical jagged lines, inspired by the glyphs for {{tp|[[kon]]}}, {{tp|[[pakala]]}}, {{tp|[[telo]]}}. The inside dot represents the inherent or important nature of {{tp|eliki}} to the user.<ref>{{cite Discord|name=kulupu telo mun|username=saturniidaemon|url=https://discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/1136414293638795305/1137460748692492308|thread={{tok|eliki}} li seme tawa sina?|channel={{tok|toki-suli}}|server={{tp|ma pona pi toki pona}}|quote=A dot marking an agent with jagged lines similar to pakala and kon around it, signifying an extended disturbance.

Just like every word, {{tp|eliki}} can be written in {{tp|[[sitelen sitelen]]}} by writing its [[sitelen sitelen#Syllable glyphs|syllable glyphs]] ({{ss|ELIKI}}) enclosed in a [[capsule]].
A dedicated word glyph for {{tp|eliki}} was also designed by {{tok|jan Salinsen}} in 2023. It was inspired by both the {{tp|sitelen pona}} glyph and the {{tp|sitelen sitelen}} glyph for {{tp|[[telo]]}} ({{ss|telo}}).<ref>{{cite Discord|name={{tok|jan Salinsen}}|username=starlingmelody|url=https://discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/1136414293638795305/1137592561775677491|channel={{tok|toki-suli}}|server={{tp|ma pona pi toki pona}}}}</ref> It also features the phonetic radical for {{tp|i}} ({{ss|I}}) in the center. Using this word glyph instead of a capsule may be seen as experimental or nonstandard by some.
