Hi again. I've checked out another Akan dictionary, but still can't find anything that resembles esun. Do you remember the Akan form? kwami (talk) 07:07, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
Ah, I found edwam 'at market', from edwa 'market'. Could this be it? Thanks, kwami (talk) 07:02, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I dunno. My source was a taxi driver, and he said something like "edjum" ;) --Sonjaaa (talk) 22:20, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Maybe the person who made this list, also made a list of torus games, that I could browse. That person is Sonja Elen Kisa. She has some badges under her name. The first one is a star and crescent. One would expect that to mean Muslim, but they aren’t always intuitive. It could mean she is a fan of the games Mecca or Medina. No, it couldn’t mean Mecca Fan, because the game Mecca is decorated with an Om. I cannot express to you how much it gets on my nerves that the game called Mecca is decorated with a Hindu holy symbol. But you can mouse over the badges, I just learned, and it does indeed mean Muslim. Sweet. And another means Esperanto. Hey, I’m a Muslim who speaks Esperanto.

NB : indirect proof of jan Sonja having indicated being a Muslim ...

it's a pitty the indicated link to her listing of games doesn't work anymore and wasn't archived ...

Syllable Structure

Syllables have a very simple structure: consonant + vowel + (optional n)

Examples: kama, pona, kepeken, nasin, sinpin, Sonko, sewi

The first syllable of a word can begin without a consonant. n cannot occur at the end of a syllable if the next one begins with m or n. The following syllables are impossible: ji(n) wu(n) wo(n) ti(n). (The ungrammatical sequence ti becomes si in loan words.)

Theoretically, these rules allow a total of 92 possible one-syllabe words, 6624 possible two-syllable words, and 476,928 possible three-syllables. In practice, however, the entire language has only 118 words.

This was pretty cool... A book signed by the author of toki pona. What's toki pona? A language made up about ten years ago with just 120 words. Apparently it works and there's a bit of a toki pona community on the Internet. The author invented the language in an attempt to make sense of her life and life in general but somehow it took off.

She's also one of the most impressive Esperantists I've ever met.

@jansegers

Hoop je dat veel mensen je taal gaan gebruiken?

‘Het maakt mij niet uit. Eigenlijk bedacht ik de taal vooral voor mezelf. In 2001 heb ik voor de grap een website over Toki Pona gemaakt waarop ik uitlegde hoe je het kon leren. Ik dacht dat niemand er wat mee zou doen. Maar een paar jaar later kreeg ik opeens e-mails van mensen die Toki Pona hadden geleerd. Er zijn nu honderden mensen die het spreken. Soms ontmoet ik opeens iemand die Toki Pona tegen me begint te spreken, dat is heel gek.’
