"whā" meaning in Maori

See whā in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: From Proto-Polynesian *faqa (“leaf stalk” – compare with Tahitian fā “stalk of banana, coconut or taro leaf”, Tongan faʻa, Samoan faʻa), from Proto-Oceanic *paqa (compare with Fijian ba (“taro stalk”)), from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *palaqpaq (“midrib of coconut leaf” – compare with Malay pelepah, Tagalog palapa); generalization from lack of coconuts found naturally in New Zealand. For sense of feather, compare with Malay bulu pelepah (lit. “frond[-shaped] hair/fur”).
