tokiponize

verb

Etymology: From Toki Pona + -ize, likely by analogy with romanize or Esperantize or similar.

1. To transliterate (a name or loanword) into the phonology of Toki Pona.

   “I know of lipu Linku. However, it doesn’t have the names for all the ma and toki (e.g. toki Inli, ma Mewika, etc.), and I do not know all the endonyms so that I can tokiponize as needed. Is there a site with those? I know Wiktionary has some, but only in an appendix and it’s inconvenient to access.”

   “About the last translation, some would deem necessary to tokiponize names, i.e. turning all the sounds not present in toki pona into their closest toki pona equivalent.”

2. To translate or localize into Toki Pona.
