nimi_sin My entire idea for this stemmed from a joke word inspired by jan Siniseli at this post: #pali-musi message

However I actually really liked the concept so I expanded on it and came up with a further semantic space for it; while it has overlaps with words like pini, nasin, misikeke, etc, I think it still fits its own niche?

While 'ijon' can refer to a physical key (as 'ilo open' also could), it can also more generally refer to all kinds of solutions, answers, and other related things with better clarity. Additionally, its space includes that of indescribability or wordlessness — in a certain sense being a 'solution' for when no word truly fits!

I've never made a nimisin before so I was really just wondering how I did; is this a good idea or no?

hmm, alternatively, instead of 'ijon' could be 'nokela', from Norwegian 'nøkkel', meaning key— or 'likika', from Icelandic 'lykill', meaning the same...
I do appreciate the irony of its current origin however think

yeah true..
i feel like the je ne sais quoi needs to be dropped

#

like if i say "a! ni li ijon" then it's unclear if i found a solution or if i'm claiming there's a je ne sais quoi about the thing i found
