Maori

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /u.ru/, [ʉ.ɾʉ]

Etymology 1

From Proto-Polynesian *huru, from Proto-Oceanic *surup, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *surup (“enter, penetrate”).

Verb

uru (passive urua or uruhina)

  1. to enter, go in[1]
  2. to possess
  3. to enlist, enrol, join, be included

Etymology 2

From Proto-Polynesian *qulu, from Proto-Oceanic *qulu, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *qulu, from Proto-Austronesian *quluh (“head”).

Noun

uru

  1. head (in the singular)[1]

Etymology 3

From Proto-Eastern Polynesian *uru (“southwesterly wind”)[2]; perhaps originally a semantic extension of Etymology 1.

No words for the cardinal directions can be unambiguously reconstructed for Proto-Polynesian, as there would be little use for them on the small Polynesian islands. However, on the much larger North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui) and South Island (Te Waipounamu) of New Zealand, the usefulness of such terminology led the Māori to adopt this word for "west".[3]

uru

  1. west[1]
