Noun

IPA: /u.ru/, [ʉ.ɾʉ]
Etymology: From Proto-Eastern Polynesian *uru (“southwesterly wind”); perhaps originally a semantic extension of Etymology 1. No words for the cardinal directions can be unambiguously reconstructed for Proto-Polynesian, as there would be little use for them on the small Polynesian islands. However, on the much larger North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui) and South Island (Te Waipounamu) of New Zealand, the usefulness of such terminology led the Māori to adopt this word for "west".
