Haho. Outside. Vanaga. Hahoa (ha
causative, hoa) to cut, to wound, to hurt. PS
Mgv.: tahoa, to make papyrus by beating. Sa.:
foa, to chip, to break. To.: foa, to
crack, to make an opening. Fu.: foa, to dig,
the rent in a mat. Underlying the Nuclear Polynesian
significations the primal sense seems to be that of
a hole. The Rapanui, a causative, is a clear
derivative in the cutting sense; wound and hurt are
secondary withing this language. The Mangarevan
composite means 'to beat until holes appear', which
is a distinctive character of the beaten bast of the
paper mulberry in the condition in which it is ready
for employment in making tapa. Churchill. |

There is a couple residing
in one place named Kui and Fakataka.
After the couple stay together for a while
Fakataka is pregnant. So they go away because
they wish to go to another place - they go. The
canoe goes and goes, the wind roars, the sea churns,
the canoe sinks. Kui expires while
Fakataka swims.
Fakataka swims and
swims, reaching another land. She goes there and
stays on the upraised reef in the freshwater pools
on the reef, and there delivers her child, a boy
child. She gives him the name Taetagaloa.
When the baby is born a golden plover flies over and
alights upon the reef. (Kua fanau lā te
pepe kae lele mai te tuli oi tū mai i te papa).
And so the woman thus names
various parts of the child beginning with the name
'the plover' (tuli): neck (tuliulu),
elbow (tulilima), knee (tulivae).
