Appearance
Ko te taro he tipu huanga hirahira mō ngā tangata Ao-o-Kiwa. Ko te ingoa pūtaiao o tēnei tipu he Colocasia esculenta.[1] He whārahi tona rau (whā), he roa te tātā, he mātotoru me huruhuru te kōpura. I mauria tēnei tipu i te haere e ngā tīpuna Ao-o-Kiwa ā ngā motu o Aotearoa.[2]
Ka tukituki tāngata Hawaii ki ngā akakōare o tona tipu mō te kai penupenu poi; ka tunu rātou ki ona whā me te kōhua ki te wai rewa o te roro niu mō te kai lūʻau (te whakamāori ā-tuhi: "rūkau").[3]
