I'm taking a stab at learning #TokiPona, so here's my attempt at naming various things in Toki Pona:

- bold jumping spider (cute round hunting bug of moving toward the sky)
- bee (cute bug of colorful plants)
- bumblebee (cute round bug of colorful plants)
- butterfly (bug of peaceful flight)
- myself (Skyfaller)
- @Maggie (helpful troll)

I'm trying to name myself in toki pona, and I translated Skyfaller as "moving down from sky" / tawa anpa tan sewi.

This seems longer than other people's handles, and it's also longer than my actual full name IRL.

Do you think that tokiponizing my screen name, or my IRL name Nelson, is a better approach? https://packbat.itch.io/naming-yourself-in-toki-pona

But https://jan-ne.github.io/tp/tpize says "It is always better to translate the 'idea' of a foreign word before attempting to create a new phonetic transcription".

Hi folks, I want to learn #TokiPona, but I haven't been able to find pu — the first book (Toki Pona: The Language of Good, by Sonja Lang) in English anywhere except Amazon.

Weirdly, my local bookstore is able to find it in other (less helpful) languages like Esperanto, just not English. It also can order the new dictionary. Same with Bookshop.org. Why is this?

Is there a good alternative way to buy pu, that doesn't make Jeff Bezos even richer? (I know other toki pona resources exist online.)
