 * 1) Official- usually refers to base words., e.g. kiwen
 * 2) Unofficial- usually refers to phrases that are being used like "compound words", e.g. jan pona. Linguists would call these lexemes because they are used like words, require memorization, behave differently (less likely to be split), etc.
 * 3) Obsolete- These words were either never used by the community, or were used for very litle time, e.g. pata. However, since people use toki pona as a natural language, if you use "pata", you likely would be understood, the same as if you had said "wench" or "knave" in English.
 * 4) Possibly obsolete- These are the words that have been used for years, but may become deprecated. e.g. noka
 * 5) Considered, but never used- words used in polls.
 * 6) Considered in jest - The April fool's day word. e.g. kijetesantakalu
 * 7) Reserved/Potentially new- Some new words are not defined,eg. pu
 * 8) Community innovations- this includes both proper modifiers being used outside of names of unique things and suggestions for new base words and intentional and accidental homonymy, eg. moku Soja, or pan used to mean "life"
