so, theres no best style right? pu and ku are official and recognized, but what about other styles? if theres no one best style, how come other styles done get a special words?

nasin pi nanpa wan li lon ala. nasin pu en nasin ku li jo lipu li pona tawa lawa. taso, nasin ante li lon. tan seme la nasin ante li jo ala e nimi?

i propose a nimisin thats like pu or ku, but as a catch all reffering to other styles

mi toki la o pali e nimi sin. nimi sin li sama pu ku tawa nasin ante.

for right now im going to use the word pe. seems like its been used as tokiponization of the math variable B, but other than, there hasnt really been used. i chose pe bc its close to pu.

tenpo ni la mi ilo e nimi pe. mi alasa la jan ante li ilo ala e nimi pe. jan wan li ilo tawa nanpa B. ni li taso. mi anu e pe tan ni. kalama ona li sama pu.

pe

wait
you want words like pu and ku, but the description seems not quite like pu and ku
what does "pu" mean?

solid zodiac
#

pu means relating to the toki pona book

#

ive seen it used as a verb to mean using or reading the toki pona book

#

and also to mean speaking in a pu style

#

like, o pilin pi toki pona doesnt use the word leko bc jan telakoman wantes to keep it pu. id describe the speaking hes doing there as pu-ing

#

and as a modifier it often means from from pu
