new nimisin: matu

I am about to do something that nobody has ever done before: coin a neologism in Toki Pona.

matu is a word which refers to elephantids, including living elephants as well as extinct species such as mammoths and mastodons.

the word is derived from Sanila "maþu" (elephant). I derived the word from my own conlang in order to make the word as narcissistic as possible, and to make it clear that the word serves to appease nobody but myself.

the sitelen pona looks like this:

I anxiously await the acceptance of my new creation by the official nimisin authorities. thank you and good day.

EDIT: mastodons aren't actually elephantids, oops lol. I'll leave it up to The Community to argue endlessly about whether mastodons can be called matu.
