A po ei ie pale pokau mata’u ti eya kipe.
“I’m outside the house we saw yesterday.”
Notes: Yes, this one is an ikuiku, too. The idea is you have some sort of enclosure (the three-sided box), and the stroke is outside that box. There are several structural iku that are built using this three-sided box as an edifice or enclosure. I believe this is the first we’ve come across. There will be more in the future.
The determined iku is used most consistently when po is being used as a noun. It’s also seen when it’s used as a verb, but not consistently. The rest of the time the iku is undetermined.
I realize this word is busy, but that’s just the way it ended up. It bears a large functional load, and has proved very useful to me over the years. It’s a small little word, but I like it.
