commentary
More popular than the synonymous (and older) tuli. san was also part of a set of 10 digit words created by jan Lenoka: lenke, jatu, ini, san, se, nun, loku, take, patu, kajo (0 through 9). All of these coinages except for san lack notability to be included in the main dictionary. They can be found in the sandbox.
