kipisi is a common content word and pre-pu nimi ku suli relating to splitting. After its revival, it was formerly widespread according to the 2022 Linku survey, but has since declined somewhat in usage.
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The word kipisi is thought to be derived from Iñupiaq kipriruk, meaning "cut", or potentially Swahili kipisi, meaning "sliver, small piece of wood".[1]
Semantic space[edit | edit source]
The semantic space of kipisi includes splitting, cutting, and otherwise dividing into pieces. It overlaps with pakala, and with using any number as a transitive verb, although the latter can refer to multiplication or division depending on context. kipisi can also refer to a piece of something.
jan li ken kipisi e ona tawa sike ante mutejan li ken kipisi e ona tawa sike ante mute.[2]
People can cut it into many different circles.
ku[edit | edit source]
For Toki Pona Dictionary, respondents in ma pona pi toki pona translated these English words as kipisi:[3]
split4, division4, slice4, cut3, divide3, chop3, segment3, section3, portion2, piece2, part2, half2, rip2, clip2, separation2, chunk2, carve2, separate2, sector2, percentage2
sitelen pona[edit | edit source]
The sitelen pona glyph for kipisi () is derived from the obelus (÷), used as a division sign in Anglophone countries. The glyph was designed by jan Same in October 2016. Originally closely resembling the mathematical sign,[4] it was later rotated to a diagonal to avoid confusion with lon (lon).[5] Thereafter, it looks similar to the percent sign (%), and is a homoglyph of a form of the rarer commercial minus sign (⁒).[a] This version was included in version 1.0 of jan Same's linja pona font.
sitelen sitelen[edit | edit source]
The sitelen sitelen glyph of kipisi depicts a circle encircling two triangles, pointing away from each other with a line between them.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- ↑ Funnily, that symbol is also derived from the obelus, another variant of which (⸓) lacks the lower dot and so is lon-shaped.
