Author Description

He Pa Auroa is a Maori-English, English-Maori dictionary specially compiled for Maori language students. The title picks up on the theme of Te la Reo ' the flow of language from the source to the sea. A pa auroa is a system of fences set in the river's flow to guide migrating eels into traps. Similarly, perhaps, this reference book will guide elements of the language to the questing learner.
