Update history. I'm having trouble with some of these date fields in the cite template, so the precision is spurious. The archived word lists, for example, can only be dated by the snapshots we have, so it's impossible to give an exact date for them.

The glyph for {{tp|kin}} was designed in October 2016, at the suggestion of {{tok|jan Kipo}}. {{tok|[[jan Same]]}}'s original proposal was a circle (from the glyph for {{tp|[[ijo]]}}) with two horizontal lines below, which could be interpreted as emphasis underlines or the glyph for {{tp|[[sama]]}}. {{tok|jan Same}} later suggested using a star for {{tp|kin}}. {{tok|jan Tepan}} refined this into "an exclamation mark with an asterisk instead of the dot", influenced by the glyph for {{tp|[[a]]}}, despite the contributors' hesitance to reuse the punctuation stem design.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forums.tokipona.org/viewtopic.php?p=15245|title=Re: {{tok|Sitelen pona}} glyphs for new and apocryphal words|website=Toki Pona Forums|author={{tok|jan Same}}|date=2016-10-16|access-date=2023-12-04}}</ref> This version was included in version 1.0 of {{tp|[[linja pona]]}}.
==History==
For a brief period in early 2002, {{tp|kin}} was used to separate subjects in a sentence, the way {{tp|[[en]]}} is used today.<ref name="lang2002">{{cite web|url=http://forums.tokipona.org/viewtopic.php?t=81|title=The words "en", "kin", and "kan"|website=Toki Pona Forums|author=Sonja Lang|date=2002-10-27|access-date=2023-10-10}}</ref> This use was deprecated in the same poll that established the modern system for {{tp|[[en]]}} and deprecated {{tp|[[kan]]}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forums.tokipona.org/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=17&p=220|title=Poll results for tokipona|website=Toki Pona Forums|author=tokipona@yahoogroups.com|date=2002-11-01|access-date=2023-10-10}}</ref>

It retained its role as an emphasizing particle during this time, though it was a prefix.<ref>{{cite web|author=Sonja Lang|website=tokipona.org|title=Toki Pona Word List|archive-date=2003-03-04|date=2002|url=http://www.tokipona.org/tp-en.php|archive-url=https://archive.ph/dBf4Y|quote=emphasizes the word that follows}}</ref>
