New Zealanders. As well talk of cold fire, or of black snow! Yet we find the word has been pretty generally chosen for the purpose throughout Polynesia. Perhaps, from the real scarcity of a proper term, —as well as from the natural ideas of fear, dread, power, strength, revenge, and (servile) reverence, found to be connected with it. Some few Teachers, however, have used the word as little as possible when speaking (in former days) to the New Zealanders of the one true God, and then only by qualifying it.

Ka karakia atu te tohunga, ina ka rongo te atuangau.- — Poet., p. lxxvii. Waiho tonu iho hei atuangau tangata. # * * # # U. The fifth letter of the New Zealand alphabet. Generally it has but one sound, that of oo, in the English words too, tool, tooth; which is sometimes shortened in pronunciation, but this is not very common, and is almost confined to a few short words, which have a widely different meaning when pronounced with u long (as, kuku = a large mussel, tutu = a shrub, Coriaria) ; and to the letter when it follows i, — e.g., waiu, i ua ano, i uta : this latter usage seems to be euphonical, but obtains also in the Sandwich Islands.
