matakahi1
[Tāne] ing .
He wāhanga rākau, he wāhanga maitai, he wāhanga aha atu, he whāiti tētahi pito, he whānui tētahi, ka paoa atu ki roto i tētahi mea kia kōihi ai, kia hāmama ai, kia hinga ai, ki waenganui rānei i ētahi mea e rua kia kikī ai.
Iti te matakahi, paoa atu anō, na potapota noa. (W 187)
E rite ana tōna āhua ki te pūriri mingimingi, e kore nei e pakaru i te tangata te wāhi; ahakoa tohe te tangata, e kore rawa e pakaru, erangi ka mau tonu te matakahi i roto. (WM 1, 19)
Ka āta paoa atu he matakahi kia mau pū ai te toki ki te kakau.
