hau [4] [Noun] the spark of life. #[Note from Te Mätäpunenga ©] Hau In this sense, the vitality or vital essence of a person, place or object. Related but distinct meanings include food used in certain ceremonies to remove tapu, and a portion of a victim or something connected to an undertaking used in propitiatory rites. Also, to return a present in acknowledgement for a present received. Williams notes the phrase whängai hau (feeding the hau) was used for the rite of presenting the material hau to an atua. Williams notes that the expressions hau whitia and kai hau refer to the “evil effects arising from the misappropriation of property”. Meanings of the compound form kaihau included “to acquire property without a reciprocal action”; and a spell to punish one who did this. The compound word kaihaukai refers to a return present of food made by one tribe to another, and a “tribal feast”. The philosophical and religious meanings of this word seem unique to Mäori; they could derive from Proto-Polynesian (from Proto-Oceanic) *sau “ruler” (cf. the Renellese reflex of this word, sau “abundance of gifts from the gods” [Elbert]), and Proto Eastern Oceanic *sau “wind” (reflected in Mäori as hau “wind”). Cf. Hawaiian hä “passing on specific mana through the ceremonial transfer of breath”.

He [1] [Determiner] This word comes before a noun to show that the kind of thing you are referring to is more important than which particular one it actually is. It also indicates that what it refers to is closely connected with what is said about it. He does not follow i, ki and other prepositions (in those constructions tëtahi or ëtahi can be substituted for he to indicate the nature of something is more important than which one of that kind it happens to be). *(1) With a noun standing alone, it shows that the thing referred to exists, or does not exist: – He këhua! It’s a ghost! Kähore he këhua! There’s no ghost! *(2) With a noun or noun phrase followed by another noun phrase, both introduced by he, the first phrase indicates what kind of thing or person the second is: He rangatira a Hëmi. Hëmi is a chief. He tuäkana öna ërä tamariki. Those children are her older sisters. He kau ërä kararehe. Those beasts are cows. As the examples show, he can come before the plural forms of the very few nouns which have singular and plural forms; with other nouns, it can refer to one or many things (the context will tell you which is the case). (See ehara [1] for examples of negative equivalents of this kind of sentence.) *(3) Used before a stative, he indicates that the quality or description applies to what is included in the phrase which follows: He pai tënä tamaiti. That child is good; He tika täna körero What he says is true.  (See kähore for examples of negative sentences like these.) *(4) When the statement introduced by he is followed by one introduced by a possessive determiner, the phrase introduced by he is what is owned or controlled by what is mentioned in the following one: He tamaiti tä Kara (Kara has a child); he whare ataahua töna. In negative sentences, the determiner will be replaced by a possessive particle Käore he tamaiti a Kara; if no subject has been named, he will not occur in the sentence: kähore öna hoa. *(5) Before verbs, he is used to specify something that is carried out in relation to the subject of the sentence: Ko täna mahi he akiaki i ahau. Her job was to urge me on. [TWK] *(6) Two phrases or sets of phrases in succession introduced by he indicate that something is distributed or repeated in the way indicated. He piko, he taniwha, he piko, he taniwha; Inapö i kai hupa tömato mätau, ä tërä pö he hupa heihei, i tënei pö he hupa huawhenua  Last night [it was] vegetable soup, tomorrow night [it will be] chicken soup, tonight [it’s] vegetable soup. *(8) Following the particle me, he sometimes indicates that something is like whatever is included in the phrase: Me he manu rere Like a flying bird”; Me he matakökiri au e rere whakahora I’ll rush headlong like a meteor.

hë [1] < hee, he > {CL1} ~nga  [Stative]  sin, wrong, mistaken, in difficulty  E hë ana tënä körero. What you're saying is incorrect. [TWK] Kua tino hë rawa tënä mahi, kua whakarereketia e koe. You've done the job quite different to what was decided. [TTU] Ko kitea e au tëtahi he i konei. I've found an error here. [NGH3] Kua kitea tëtahi he. A mistake has been found. [NGH3] I he ke au. It was I who was mistaken. [NGH3]  I runga i te heenga o to rätou mahi i aua räkau ka katia, kore iho i mahia, tae noa ki te taenga mai nei o Peri. Because they had mistakenly worked on the wrong trees, they had to stop work until Peri had arrived here. [KH 1:30:6]  (Cf. whakahë) #[Note from Te Mätäpunenga ©] hë  A general term for mistakes, faults and being in the wrong. The causative form whakahë covers both misleading or causing another to err, and condemnation of an errant person. In the phrase whakapä hë “to accuse, bring a charge against an individual or body” (literally “to tag with error”), it has also entered modern legal parlance. (The term originates from Proto-Oceanic *sese, through Proto-Polynesian *së “err”; its cognates seem to have retained this core meaning in most major Polynesian languages.)
