118, ISTR, but that's just the base lexicon.  The class of proper adjectives is
open-ended.

And there are a few things that are difficult to enunciate without heavy, heavy
circumlocution:  I remember #tokipona had trouble with "legalize marijuana" because
"legalize" is a difficult concept to represent in Toki Pona.
