hapü [2] < hapuu, hapu > {CL1}   [Noun]  The basic traditional political grouping, a small tribe, or an autonomous division of a larger tribal grouping. Ko ngä kärangaranga hapü o Ngäti Whätua he maha. There are many hapü in Ngati Whatua. [NWH]. Probably derived from hapü [1]. Cf. iwi, waka. #[Note from Te Mätäpunenga ©] Hapü This term refers to the primary major political unit in traditional Mäori social organization at the time of contact with Europe and America, a relatively stable and cohesive grouping consisting of a number of whänau sharing descent from a common ancestor. It was always named, usually after either the founding ancestor or some critical event in the group’s history. A number of hapü with common interests, usually sharing adjacent territories and linked either by common descent or intermarriage were usually parts of a looser “tribal” federation (for example iwi or waka), also named to signify descent or history, hence Williams’ definition of hapü as “section of a large tribe, clan, secondary tribe”. The more modern English translation of hapü as “sub-tribe” probably understates the earlier significance of the unit denoted by the term. The origin of the word is uncertain; it may be derived from the Proto Nuclear Polynesian *sapü, “pregnant”, but if so the political connotations are present only in New Zealand.

An offense, primarily resulting from the violation of tapu (whether or not this was done intentionally), but also disrupting social relationships. After contact with Christianity, the meaning of this word was widened to include sin and deliberate offending, and, as colonization proceeded, widened further (and in a sense narrowed) to denote deliberate offending against the law, or any kind of violation of rules, regulations or conventions. It is a very ancient term, from Proto-Austronesian *sala “err, error”, with connotations of error, violation, and sin in many contemporary Austronesian languages.
