    He kōrero anō e hāngai ana

    Kei Ngā karangatanga matua mō te wai māori me ngā ika wai māori ētahi kupu matua ka whakamahia i roto ā mātou rauemi mō ngā wai māori me ngā ika wai māori.

    Mō tētahi mahere akoranga e ana ki ngā kupu Māori ka whakamahia i roto i ngā kaupapa whāomoomo, tirohia tēnei: He tikanga – te reo Māori and English terms.

    He whakamihi

    I hua ake tēnei rauemi i tētahi aratohu pūtaiao mā ngā kaiako, ko Ngā Hekaheka o Aotearoa te ingoa. I tuhia te aratohu nei e Tākuta Peter Buchanan, o Manaaki Whenua; Tākuta Georgina Stewart, o Te Kura Mātauranga, Te Whare Wānanga o AUT; me Hēni Jacob. He mea tuhi ngā rauemi nei i runga i te aro nui ki te titiro a te Māori ki ēnei āhuatanga.

    Tēnei te mihi a te Pokapū Akoranga Pūtaiao ki a Manaaki Whenua me ngā kaituhi kua whakaae nei, kua āwhina nei anō hoki i te whakawhitinga o ngā kōrero nei hei rauemi ipurangi.

    E taea ana tētahi tauira whitihiko o te Aratohu mā te Pouako te tiki atu i Huia Publishers.
