poki tona is a spoonerism of toki pona, with poki meaning "container" and tona being a marginal joke word supposedly referring to toners.
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The word tona is derived from English toner to complete the spoonerism of toki pona (poki tona), with poki being a preexisting word.[1]
sitelen pona[edit | edit source]
A proposed sitelen pona glyph for tona (tona) is derived from the glyph for kule (kule), representing pigment, with emitters added, perhaps specifically to evoke the glyph for toki (toki). It was created[when?] by jan Lepeka for her sitelen pona fonts.[2][primary source needed]
