Nga Kupu Maori
All the answers in this puzzle are in English, while the clues are based on Maori words (with English hints). The reference used was "Te Aka Maori Dictionary" (https://maoridictionary.co.nz/). Maori words use macrons, modifiers to indicate lengthened vowels, but these have had to be omitted in this environment. Words may be singular or plural: in Maori this is determined by the context. Hakinakina! |
