It feels a lot like “Person Do Thing: the language”. In fact, the 49 words are close to a subset of toki pona’s. But toki pona is more expressive. Obviously there are a bunch more words, but also every word can be used as every part of speech, and the grammar disambiguates which part of speech it is. That makes it suprisingly usable. Still, toki pona sentences do feel like puzzles to me.
