Tane tutakina te kapiti rangi 



E mahu akuanei 



E mahu apopo 



E mahu a takiritanga o te ata. 



The following is a very ancient Tuhoe method of treating a 

 person who has been wounded, or has a bone fractured, or has 

 been bruised by a fall, &c. The medicine-man would proceed 

 to takahi the sufferer — i.e., he would, as the person lay on the 

 ground, place his left foot on his body, and repeat the invocation, 

 tcii i icd haruru : — 



Haruru ki tua 



Haruru ki waho 



Haruru ki runga ki tenei tangata. 



The tohunqa then repeats the hono charm (were it a burn, 

 he would repeat the whai ivera) : — 



Tao ka tu 



Ka tu ki hea ? 



Ka tu ki runga 



Ka tu ki waho 



Ka tu ki te nana nui o rangi 



Ma wai c mini! 



Ma tahito ;• mimi 



Ma wai c mimi

He kiri ka toetoea 



Ka haehaea ki te taha o te umu 



Hai ! 



Ka toro te kiri ora 



Ka mahu te kiri ora 



Mahumahu akuanei 



Mahumahu apopo.
