==Semantic space==
The [[semantic space]] of {{tp|luka}} includes any and all parts of human upper limbs, such as the arms, elbows, hands and fingers; similarly to how {{tp|[[noka]]}} can refer to legs or feet. As a verb, it can refer to the act of touching something with a {{tp|luka}}.{{citation needed}}▼
===Content word===
As a number, it stands for five, the amount of fingers on a human hand. In the early days of Toki Pona, it was the highest-value number word, before {{tp|[[mute]]}} and {{tp|[[ale]]}} acquired that status. This led to the creation of the [[Idioms|idiom]] {{tp|jo e luka mute}}, meaning "to be complicated", as big numbers would have many repetitions of the word {{tp|luka}}.<ref>{{tok|[[jan Sonja]]}} (21 May 2002).

In non-human creatures, {{tp|luka}} may refer to limbs and other organs capable of manipulation and interaction. Depending on context, a {{w|quadruped}} animal's limbs may be either described as {{tp|luka}} when used to interact with something and {{tp|noka}} when walking.<ref>{{cite lipamanka}}</ref> This commonly applies to paws (for most animals), claws (for birds), and {{w|tentacles}} (for cephalopods). However, {{tp|luka}} may also be applied to upper limbs regardless of dexterity, such as wings.
In {{w|sign language}}, {{tp|luka}} refers to an individual sign and the act of signing itself. In {{tp|[[luka pona]]}} (and when transcribing it into {{tp|toki pona}}), the word is used as an [[interjection]] for greetings, instead of {{tp|[[toki]]}}.
