Why would we start a Tetum Wiktionary first? Wiktionaries generally don't hold new contributors as well.

You can do that on any Wiktionary. I think active projects such as the English Wiktionary would be quite grateful for such contributions.
If you are only going to include a few example words that's probably the best way to proceed. A Tetum Wiktionary would be directed to a public that already speaks the language.
That said, I probably shouldn't be talking because I've always thought splitting Wiktionary into several-language projects was the dumbest thing Wikimedia ever did.
Without going into detail, I think we'll continue to differ on that point. :-)
