the card is a nice idea. i've found a source for "kipisi"--the word is Inuktitut, composed of kipi-, "cut," and a detransitivizing suffix, -si-. The whole would mean "cut (something,)" with the thing cut being out-of-focus.

And according to an online dictionary of Inuttut, ‘to cut’ is kipik there.

Huh, I now see you already got the answers.

This post doesn't really belong into this group, but I let it through, because I can answer it.
My dictionary of Ulirnaisigutiit has the word: kipitsiti ‘cross-cut saw’, kippaq ‘an object that has been cut’, kipijuq ‘who cuts himself, is cut (by a cutting object, a saw), one who is cut at present’, kipivaa ‘he cuts across it, splits it’, kipput ‘object, s.t. for cutting’.

De Pite,
What you cite is indeed Inuit, specifically Eastern Canadian Inuktitut. Kipisi is not a whole word, but the uninflected stem of a verb, just the kind of thing that would be used in a pidgin or creole language. The dictionary form of the word is the transitive verb kipijanga: he/she cuts it, kipijara I cut it, and so on. The intransitive requires the suffix -si-: kipisijuq: he she cuts, kipisijunga: I cut, and so on. In West Greenlandic the verb is kipivaa he/she cuts it; kipivara I cut it, etc. and the intransitive requires no suffix: kipivoq "he/she cuts (something), kipivunga I cut it, etc.
A Greenlandic (Kalaallisut) to English (Tuluttut) app can be found by looking for "oqaatsit" on the web.
Can you tell me something about Toki Pona?
