Pls no not Mike I'm going to cry if Toki Pony does Mikkel -> Mike oppression

what if, for once, those who have the name Mike get called Mikkel. hah.

What's sickle, then?... Sike? you see, this language will make the universe implode if we let its master plans unfold.

you would probably say something like farm tool but i'm not that good at Toki Pona so maybe:

ilo tu palisa jelo suli (tool cut stick yellow tall)
ilo tu moku soweli (tool cut animal food)

'pi' might be used to clarify that it's a "cutting tool" for something, but I wouldn't be the one to know

"ilo tu pi moku soweli"
"ilo tu pi palisa jelo suli"
