whakatauaki [1]    [Causative]  saying, maxim, proverb    whakatauki [041126] #[Note from Te Mätäpunenga ©] Whakataukï, whakatauäkï. The first component of these closely related terms is the derived causative whakatau, “make a formal statement or pronouncement”, which Williams regards as a derivative of tau “alight, come to rest”, but is probably also connected with tau “song”, and tatau “count”, which he groups quite separately. The final component is kï “say or consider something, utterance”.  Whakataukï, i.e. the form without the joining particle -ä-, can mean simply to say something with emphasis (obviously, what is said would automatically have some significance, to the speaker at least). A second, albeit related, meaning is associated with both forms. They designate a proverbial or particularly memorable and significant saying, aphorism or slogan, and the use or composition of such a figure of speech. Both pepeha and whakataukï are essential ingredients in formal oratory, and indeed continue to be a primary means of conveying important social, cultural, legal and political principles and information. The words themselves are indigenous to Aotearoa, but root component may be Proto-Polynesian *tau “song” (which may itself be a variant of Proto-Polynesian *tau “count” – some of the reflexes of this word in other Polynesian languages mean also “to recite” or “to read”); the element kï occurs in a number of words related to sound, e.g. Proto-Polynesian *kikï, “squeak, squeal”,  and Proto-Polynesian *kaki “throat, neck”.
