HAKARI. 
speeches are made, the speaker walking up and down a space 
left for him by the crowd ; he only speaks as he goes one way, 
walking back in silence, and as he became animated, he moves 
with increased celerity. On the occasion of a marriage, the 
friends of the bridegroom provide the feast for him, and those 
of the bride for her ; but the two do not eat together. When 
a chief intends to give a feast, he sends some member of his 
family as a herald to summon those for whom it is intended. 
As he passes through each village, he sings, Uea uea i te pou 
o tou whare, kia wiriwiri, Ida tutangatanga wakairi kapua naku , 
ki runga moeahu taku kira ka tongia e te anu matao e tahu 
e — nau mai e waha i taku tua he karere taua, he karere 
wainga. If it be a feast to invite the individuals thus sum¬ 
moned to war, the words he karere taua are used ; if to a 
feast only, the words he karere wainga are spoken. It those 
invited do not wish to partake of the feast, they reply, Penu 
ki taku kainga, e kore au e tae atu kahore aku paremata tahi 
atu ki a koe.
