I don't know of the word "oka", only "oko" ('eye'). Or "noka" ('leg,
foot').

The official word list has the bare definition of "oko" as 'eye'.
Compounds in the same document are:
linja lili oko = eyebrows, eyelashes
pana e telo oko = to cry, weep

Sentences with "oko" in that document are:
oko sina li pona lukin = you have beautiful eyes.
oko mi li lukin pona = my eyes see well.

Lesson 15 has as a test sentence for translation:
Something is in my eye.

>From Religious Texts:
kule mute li pakala e oko jan.
tan ni la jan sona li lukin e insa, li kepeken ala e oko.

Should we move this offlist?

Damn, I wish I was a decent typist! So, there are no words that have never been used, though some are still rather rare.
