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 {{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]]}}.
