The subject of this article is nonstandard and will not be understood by most speakers.

If you are a learner, this information will not help you speak the language. It is recommended to familiarize yourself with the standard style, and to be informed and selective about which nonstandard styles you adopt.

eliki is a content word and nimi sin coined by kulupu telo mun in 2023 relating to immutable characteristics about oneself that can cause pain or distress.^[1]

Etymology

eliki is derived from the Cherokee word ehisdi (ᎡᎯᏍᏗ) meaning "pain, distress".

Semantic space

According to jan Salinsen (also known as waso suno), eliki is defined as:^[2]

trial, adversity; bittersweet; an experience with the quality of being deeply felt or important to oneself while defying classification as positive, negative, or a simply described admixture of positive and negative

It is intended "to help people describe a range of identities and experiences important to them" that may not be sufficiently described by pakala, pona, ike, nasa or other words. As such, specific usage varies between speakers. 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 kulupu telo mun, the factors that define the semantic space of eliki appear to be:^[3]

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 ike, pona, pakala, nasa, etc however they like

The philosophy of eliki is similar to identity-first language (for example, "autistic person", "Deaf person"), which certain disabled communities prefer to person-first language ("person with …") because their eliki are an inseparable part of who they are.
