Today I added the entry https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/science_project to Wiktionary. Then I realized Kankonian didn't have a word for "science project"! So a few minutes ago, I invented two new Kankonian words. A science project, in its literal meaning, is zurmeriyalevatz , from zurmeriya...

Wait, each one has *one* Toki Pona definition? I thought the person was just a hardcore Toki Pona fan and defined all their words in Toki Pona for fun.
