Hohou i te rongo:  {MPT}  [Noun phrase] Te whäkinatanga o te hë kia murua - the act of freely admitting wrong doing and seeking forgiveness; making peace (See hou [1]) #[Note from Te Mätäpunenga ©] Hohou i te Rongo. Rongo, “peace after war or conflict”, is expressed especially through two idioms: Hohou i te Rongo “make peace” (the ordinary meaning of hohou is “lash together”), and Maunga Rongo “attaining a state of peace” (from mau “fixed, continuing, established”). Associated idioms are Rongo ä whare, peace brought about by the mediation of a woman and Rongo a marae, peace brought about by the mediation of a man, and Rongo taketake “well-established peace”. In other contexts the word rongo means “apprehend through the senses other than sight,” and in the context of hearing includes notions such as news and fame. These other meanings of rongo are present in cognate words in other Polynesian languages, all derived from Proto-Austronesian *denger “hear” through Proto-Polynesian *rongo “hear news; that which is heard”. The connection between these and the “peace” connotations seems tenous, but there are echoes of this in some other Polynesian languages; for example Easter Island rongo has pretty much the same range of meanings as Mäori in relation to hearing etc., but there fakarongo means also “to trust”, and in the Tuamotus rongo in addition to meaning “hear” “famous” and so on also was applied to a formal chant sung on the return of a heroic warrior after a successful expedition, which implies that peace was made (at least from the chanters’ point of view). It is possible that the Mäori term has been developed through association with the homophonous proper name Rongo, signifying the pan-Polynesian deity responsible for peace, prosperity and cultivated foods.

[TWK]  I te hokonga o oo rätou käkahu tahi anö ka kitea kua pau katoa. When they went to buy cothes they had nothing left. [TWK]  #[Note from Te Mätäpunenga ©] Hoko A unified concept combining many of the associations of the English terms “buy”, “sell” and “exchange”, along with the notion of “merchandise”, that is, goods available for exchange or sale. In the reduplicated forms hohoko and hokohoko, the focus is on the process of commerce or exchange, or simply on alternation between one state and another. It possibly derives ultimately from a Proto-Austronesian root *dheket, reflected in Proto-Eastern Oceanic as *soko, which seems to have had connotations of collectivitity (mirrored in Proto-Polynesian *soko “to join” – a meaning retained in its cognates in Tongan and modern Samoan, among other Polynesian languages). The notion of exchange of goods and/or services comes from the Nuclear-Polynesian homonym or variant of *soko, with meanings practically identical with Mäori hoko found in Easter Island and Rarotongan Mäori, Marquesan, Tuamotuan and Tahitian.

hoko- [2] [Numeral prefix] When it is put before a numeral from tahi to iwa, hoko- makes it mean twenty times as many: twentyfold. The combination hokowhitu can be used to indicate a large group of people (see the separate entry for hohowhitu.). (From Proto-Eastern-Oceanic *soko “together, collectively”. Until about 1820, hoko- probably meant “a set of ten pairs” rather than simply twenty – until about then the word tekau was used for “twenty”, and the normal word for ten was ngahuru.)

Hokokeha [1] Te Hokokeha [Name]  This hapü name was given in 1918 by 15 voters registered as affiliated with Te Rarawa, including 8 at Kaihu and 5 at Mitimiti. Two voters at Mitimiti recorded as affiliated with Te Aupouri also gave this as their hapü name.
