28 Jul '15

Tena tatou katoa We are pleased to announce that Nga Upoko Tukutuku, the Maori Subject Headings project has completed another upload of new kaupapa/terms, just in time to be released during Te Wiki o te Reo Maori, Maori Language Week. These terms came from the work of Te Whakakaokao, the Maori Subject Headings Working Group, at a hui held in June 2015. There are 13 new terms that have been added to Nga Upoko Tukutuku and are ready for use in library catalogues, and a number of changed terms. We are delighted that we have completed all outstanding requests as far as possible, and we welcome requests for new terms. So please don’t hesitate to send in requests, queries and suggestions to reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz> – Te Whakakaokao would love to hear from you. Nga kaupapa hou / New terms • Hine-pukohu-rangi = The atua associated with the mist • Io = A highly sacred deity • Kaiwawao = Defence lawyers • Kaiwhiu = Prosecution lawyers • Mahuika = The goddess of fire, sometimes referred to as a male • Matauranga whakahua = Phonetics • Mataku = Fear, dread · Mere = Greenstone clubs · Oro puare = Vowels · Roia = Lawyers · Tohu oro tapara = Double vowels · Wehi = Awe · Whakahua = Pronunciation Te mahi whakahou / Changes to existing terms • The terms relating to pronunciation and linguistics have been revised. The group looked at terms and concepts in the general area of Matauranga wetereo (linguistics) and added several new narrower terms. These include Matauranga whakahua, which is used for phonetics, Oro puare (vowels), Tohu oro tapara (double vowels), and Whakahua. • Several new terms relating to Atua have been created. These include Hine-pukohu-rangi, the atua associated with the mist, the higly sacred deity Io, and Mahuika, the goddess or god of fire. The scope notes relating to Rongomatane and Uenuku have also been refined. • Two terms relating to the experience of fear and awe have been added as narrower terms of Aronganui (emotions). These include Wehi, a sense of awe and fear in response to ihi, and Mataku, which is used for dread and fear. • The scope of Ture (law) has been clarified, and three new narrower terms relating to lawyers have been created. Roia refers to lawyers in general, while Kaiwawao is used for defence lawyers, and Kaiwhiu refers to prosecutors. • The scope of Patu, or hand clubs, has been clarified, and a new term, Mere has been created to describe a flat weapon of stone, often of greenstone. We apologise for the absence of macrons. It has not been possible to include these, for technical reasons relating to the email client. If you have any questions, or potential terms you want to suggest, please email reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz>.
