===Content word===
The [[semantic space]] of {{tp|luka}} includes any and all parts of human {{w|upper limbslimb}}s, such as the arms, elbows, hands and fingers; similarly to how {{tp|[[noka]]}} can refer to legs or feet. As a [[transitive verb]], it may refer to the act of interacting with something using said limbs, such as placing one's hand, hitting, petting, among other meanings.
 
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.
When referring to non-human creatures, {{tp|luka}} usually refers to paws (for animals)<ref name="juwan-paw"/> and more commonly to wings than claws (for birds).<ref name="juwan-luka-waso"/>
 
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]]}}.
 
===Number===
As a [[number]], the word {{tp|luka}} 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). "[http://forums.tokipona.org/viewtopic.php?p=54 Compounds]". ''Toki Pona Forums''. Retrieved 12 October 2023.</ref><ref>{{cite Discord|name={{tok|[[jan Sonja]]}}|username=sonjalang|url=https://discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/375591429608570881/1042502204403228702|server={{tp|[[ma pona pi toki pona]]}}|channel=sona-musi|quote={{tok|luka}} was the highest number at the time, so big numbers were like {{tok|luka luka luka luka luka luka luka wan}}[.] hence the idiom, {{tok|ona li jo e luka mute}}, it is complicated|retrieved=12 October 2023}}</ref>
