Papakupu Ingoa Wahi Maori a Reed. The Reed Dictionary of Maori Place Names.

Paperback, in good condition. Many Maori place names date back to the very earliest days of habitation in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Some, in fact, originated in the Hawaiki homeland and were adapted to the new land. Whatever their origin, most reflect the Maoris' closeness to the forces of nature and incorporate common words for everyday things.
