[TWK] #[Note from Te Mätäpunenga ©] Hui The core meaning of this word is to gather objects together; in relation to people it is used especially in the sense of congregating and assembling. In modern Mäori this has entered into a number of technical terms for specific kinds of deliberative assembly, for example hui-ä-iwi a “tribal assembly”, usually called to discuss or decide on a particular issue. Other terms which denote assembling for deliberative purposes are rünanga (the focus of a separate title, q.v.),  whakaminenga, “an assembly or collective” (from mine, “to be assembled”), and kähui “an assemblage (of any kind)”, which has a special meaning in Waikato and Kingitanga circles in the phrase kähui ariki “royal lineage”. (The word hui is derived from Proto-Polynesian *fuhi “bunch or cluster; tie in a bunch”; the notion of assembling or uniting groups of people is shared by Mäori with Rarotongan, Tuamotuan and Hawaiian. The related term kähui is Eastern Polynesian in origin, from *käfui “a bunch of fruit”; Hawaiian has another related term, lähui “a great company of people, nation, race, tribe, nationality”, echoed in Mäori in the form of rähui “a flock of birds”. The term mine seems to have originated in Aotearoa.)
