===Usage notes===<br />
* This word was first created as an April Fool's joke in 2009, with the definition "any [[animal]] from the [[Procyonidae]] family, such as [[raccoon]]s, [[coati]]s, [[kinkajou]]s, [[olingo]]s, [[ringtail]]s and [[cacomistle]]s." It has since become common to define it more broadly as any animal from the [[Musteloidea]] superfamily.<br />
<br />
* This broader definition was acknowledged by Lang, and the word has since been recognized as essential vocabulary (''nimi ku suli'') by Lang in her 2021 publication ''The Toki Pona Dictionary''.<ref>{{cite-book|title=Toki Pona Dictionary|last=Lang|first=Sonja|page=249|publisher=Tawhid|year=2021|isbn=978-0978292362}}</ref><br />
<br />
{{U:tok:sona Linku|common|75|2024}}<br />
<br />
* Due to the word's length, it is often pronounced with secondary stress, most commonly {{IPAfont|[ˈkijetesanˌtakalu]}}, but also frequently {{IPAfont|[ˈkijeteˌsantakalu]}}.<br />
<br />
* In most contexts the word primarily refers to raccoons.<br />
