Let's talk about numbers constructible in Toki Pona.

First off, 0, 1 and 2 are constructible since there are direct words for them. Same with 5, 20 and 100 by the advanced numeral system.

And also by the advanced numeral system, all natural numbers are constructible by a sum of 1s, even if use of 5, 20 and 100 speed things up.

So all naturals ℕ are constructible. How about negatives?

Well, we could say "ale ℕ" means -ℕ. So all integers ℤ are constructible as well.

But now we need something new: division.

Does any1 know about a way to divide in Toki Pona?
