"whero" meaning in All languages combined

See whero on Wiktionary

Adjective [Maori]

Etymology: Derived from Proto-Polynesian *felo (“yellow, tawny” – compare with Hawaiian helo, Tongan felo and felofelo) Sense of "yellow" displaced by kōwhai while evolving close to "red". Sense of “bright” is semantic evolution from “yellow” > “bright”. This also evolved into sense of gold from its shine; recorded as ferro by Vincent Pyke interviewing one Mr. Palmer informed by one "Tuawaiki" (or "Tuwaewae") in Otago. A similar parallel in the same Austronesian family can be seen in Tagalog on the connection between bulaw “reddish orange” and bulawan “gold”.
