commentary

The word was used privately by jan Sonja up until November 2019, when she mentioned it in the ma pona pi toki pona discord server as a word she was experimenting with. It is believed the word was originally coined in 2007-2009 alongside pan, esun, apeja, monsuta, and pu, but this cannot be proven.
