RAURANGI occurs in the text of Sir G. Grey's Diary of his Overland
journey from Auckland to Taranaki. Again, in Sir G. Grey's Maori poems
and also in Polynesian Myth. 1st ed. But the 2nd. ed. of Poly. Myth. has
Tauarangi. The context requires a word or words similar in meaning to
Tauarangi. The meaning of Raurangi is not given in any Maori Dictionary
at present.

KA WAHIA TE TAHA, 'the calabash was broken.' The usual method of
drinking was for the drinker to form a hollow with his hands and to
drink from one side while a slave poured water in at the other. The
meaning of the text further on, implies that Hinemoa took the calabash
and drank from it, a most unusual thing, and then broke it. If she drank
from the calabash itself it was in strict accordance with Maori custom
to break it afterwards. See amusing explanation in "Old New Zealand."

translation has "Wild White Hawk."

He led her to his dwelling lone.

So wedded and so made his bride.
