=={{tp|sitelen pona}}==
The {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} glyph for {{tp|poka}} ({{UCSUR char|{{codepoint|poka}}}}) is derived from the open [[box radical]] with a [[location dot]] placed besides it. Compare the glyphs for {{tp|[[anpa]]}}, {{tp|[[insa]]}}, {{tp|[[monsi]]}}, {{tp|[[sinpin]]}}, as well as the secular version of {{tp|[[sewi]]}}.
=={{tp|sitelen sitelen}}==

<blockquote>
Unlike {{tp|anpa}} and the rest, {{tp|poka}} can also be used directly as a preposition. These two sentences below have the same meaning, but you go about them in a different way:
:{{tok|mi moku poka jan pona mi.}} -- I ate beside my friend.
:{{tok|mi moku lon poka pi jan pona mi.}} -- I ate at side of my friend.
