Talk:Rārangi rākau

Table now has all but a couple of the L.J.Metcalf (1972) Maori names and a couple of others I got from elsewhere since starting on his. But there must be scores more - what about all our beech trees? I'll be looking at other sources with a view to making additions; and I may need to go back to Metcalf for details. His book doesn't leave the house. Robin Patterson 02:59, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I admit an inconsistency where the same plant has two Maori names. I think the puka/pukanui model is a bit better than listing the alternative in a note, so I may tidy some of those unless someone else does. Robin Patterson 02:59, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Tūmanako

Nō te mea kua tohua tēnei o ngā tuhipānui hei maramara, kua huri ōku whakaaro ki te kōrero mō Rātā me tana rākau. Ko te tūmanako kia waiho te maramara nei mā ngā tāngata matatau ki te reo Māori, ki tērā o ngā taonga o Aotearoa nei, e whakapai i runga i ngā tikanga whakapai, kia tupu ake hei rākau whakaruruhau, hei Tōtara, hei Kauri rānei i te wao-nui-a-Tāne. Tēnā, whakaputaina ō whakaaro ki Wikipedia:Kōrero. Nō reira, tēnā tātou katoa Kahuroa 04:15, 13 Poutū-te-rangi 2007 (UTC)
