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]
The 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).
