Kia kite ngā whatu, kia rongo te ihu i tēnei hekaheka, e kore a ia e wareware! Koia anō tētahi o te whānau pihihaunga, pērā i te puapuatai. I kohia e ngā tūpuna i te wā e pūhouhou ana, e hēki ana te hanga, engari ko te wāhi o waho anake i kainga. Ina waiho kia tipu tonu, ka puta ake ko te kupenga mā. He hāwareware keha kei te mata whakaroto o te kupenga, hei tō mai i te ngaro ki roto, ā, mā te ngaro e tītari haere ōna pua atua ki wīwī, ki wāwā.
E 35 neke atu ngā ingoa Māori puta noa i Aotearoa mō tēnei hekaheka, nō reira he momo i mōhio whānuitia. Ko ētahi ingoa, pērā i te tūtae-whatitiri, e tohu ana i tōna putanga ohorere mai i muri i te āwhā he uira, he whatitiri ōna hoa haere. I Te Waipounamu, ko te whareatua tētahi o ōna ingoa – ko te whare o te kino tōna whakamārama – e kōrero ana mō tōna hanga rite ki te kupenga.
He mahi ā-ringa
Ki te tūpono koe ki tētahi matakupenga pai nei te āhua, kinia tō ihu! Pupuhitia atu he hau ki tētahi poihau kua kuhuna ki roto i te matakupenga. Herea te kakī o te poihau. Werohia te poihau kia kore katoa te hau o roto, ka tango mai ai. Te tikanga kua porotaka te hanga o te matakupenga. Pātai atu ki ō hoa he aha te mea nei he rite nei tōna hanga ki te pōro kua mahia ki te kupenga.
