By analogy, {{tp|kule}} is sometimes extended to refer to any intrinsic or sensory attribute, such as composition, sensory information ({{w|hue}}, smell, flavor, {{w|timbre}}, texture), or [[Gender|gender identity]]. The word {{tp|[[poki]]}} ("container") is used as an [[antonym]] for this sense, meaning any extrinsic attribute. Compare the English phrase "to put someone in a box".
