===Fingerspelling===
The {{tp|luka pona}} {{w|fingerspelling|manual alphabet}} consists of 14 signs, which can be either one-handed (borrowed mostly from the {{w|French Sign Language family}}) or two-handed (borrowed from {{w|British Sign Langugage|BSL}}), used to spell out [[names]] and words from Toki Pona.<ref>{{cite web|author={{tok|jan Olipija

Words which lack have signs, such as {{tp|jasima}} and {{tp|[[eliki]]}}, are fingerspelled instead. When a given 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>{{cite Discord|url=https://discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/1136414293638795305/1160109073182752799|name={{tok|jan Tepo}}|username=tbodt|thread={{tok|eliki li seme tawa sina?}}|channel={{tok|toki-suli}}|server={{tp|ma pona pi toki pona}}}}</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).
