Wetenga Reo: "E ka" Ka ora rapea ahau, e ka tuaina ki te moana. - I'll surely live if I'm dashed into the ocean. [Te Wiremu, pg. 26] Koia tenei pepeha mo te mea kite, e ka kitea te taonga makere. - Here is what's said for things which are found, when such a treasure is cast aside.[Te Wiremu, pg. 26] Kua mimiko katoa nga kiri o te wahine mate kino, e ka puta te marama. - Goosebumps emerged upon the woman in dire health when the moon appeared.[Te Wiremu, pg. 202] Ka mau ki tana tatā, e ka ipuipu. - He grasped at his canoe bail, that's when he began bailing water. [Te Wiremu, pg. 79] E pa, kei riri mai koia koe ki a au e ka whaki atu au ki a koe inaianei. - Please Father, be not mad at me when I confess to you now. [Te Wiremu, pg. 486] He ana koiwi e ka pukei. It's a cave of bones when piled up. [Te Wiremu, pg. 306]
