pini is the moment something comes to a close. this can be as simple as a door shutting or a light turning off, but it can be more abstract, like a department at a college fizzling out. pini has no connotations of irreversibility, unlike "pinis" in its language of origin (tok pisin), which can grammatically specify irreversibility.
