About Pilma Kumna
Pilma Kumna is an 'auxlang' begun as a joke in response to all the would-be better-than-Esperanto candidate auxlangs out there. (This one really is better than Esperanto, nevertheless, because it can be typed on a normal keyboard.) As such, its name means, effectively, "to talk about peace without doing anything to create or keep it".
