The {{tp|luka pona}} {{w|fingerspelling|manual alphabet}} consists of 14 signs, which can be either one-handed or two-handed, used to spell out [[names]] and words from {{tp|toki pona}}.<ref>jan Olipija.

Words that don't have signs, such as {{tp|jasima}} and {{tp|[[eliki]]}}, are fingerspelled instead.
If a word or name is spelled frequently, its spelling may become faster and more relaxed over time, and might not include all the letters in the original, to the point of making the spelling unreadable to those not familiar with the word.<ref>{{tok|jan Tepo}} (@tbodt) (7 October 2023).

''Discord''.</ref> In sign language linguistics, this phenomenon is known as {{w|Lexicalization#In sign languages|lexicalization}} (not to be confused with [[lexicalization]] in the context of toki pona.)
