Roua ki Whiti, roua ki Tonga 



E tu te rouroua 



E taka te kape 



Kapekapea 



Ka eke i to ihi 



Ka eke i to mana 



Te ihi nei, nga tapu nei 



Ko tai koki 



Ko tai takoto atu ki raro 



Nga peruperu mawkawka 



Haere ake ra te ihi o nga toa 



Tee whatu 



Tatea a nuku, tatea a rangi 



Huri ana te po, huri ana te ao 



Tena te whatu ka re re 



Ko te whatu a te pukena (pukenga) 



Tau koroki 



Ko te whatu a te wananga 



Tau koroki 



Koa ki runga 



Tau koroki 



Koa ki waho 



Tau koroki 



Tena te rakau 



Ko tu te rangi 



Haruru nga toro 



Ko te rakau a kai hika 



Te rakau a kai ure 



Waerea te maru tuna 



Waerea te main wehi 



Haere tarekoreko atu ki tahaki — e-e. 



The priest then takes the ahua (semblance, likeness, per- 

 sonality, representation) of the food and roasts it at the fire, 

 aud then eats it. He then repeats the taumaha : — 



Taumaha te ihi o te kai 



Te mana o te kai 



Te maru tuna o te kai 



Te maru wehi o te kai 



He kai ! He kai ! 



He kai ma kutikuti 



He kai ma kapekape 



Ka kape i to ihi 



Ka kape i to mana 



Ka kape i to maru tuna 



Ka kape i to maru wehi 



Ka kape i to maru korero 



Ka kape i to maru wananga 



Ka mama nga pukena (pukenga) 



Ka niama nga wananga 



Ka mama hoki ahau, tenei tauira. 



Enough ! The people may now eat of the food. 



When we hear that travellers are approaching our 

 village we set to work and prepare food for them. When 

 they arrive some one will say to them, " So-aud-so is pre- 

 paring food for you " (kai te taitai kai a mea ma koutou). 

 Now, if they do not stop and partake of that food it is an evil.
