KA MATE KA MATE KA ORA KA ORA, ETC.
Sir.—That " -Child-of-Te-Ara-kau" should feel agrieved at, the " Conglomeration of words—" Kamati ! Karaati! Kauara! Kauara!" is not to lie wondered at. It certainly is not Maori, whatever else it may be." He wonders if it be intended for "Kamatc! Ka'natc! Ka oral Ka oral" Ho very lightly deprecates and deplores *' the way in which Maori words are sometimes 'misspelt, yet he writes " Ka mate" as one word. As a student of Maori. I would like to know his justification for doing so. H.H
