Lala: Kindling

The 'whanau' who go down to the Tītī Islands each year have a different Māori language to the rest of Mainland Murihiku / Te Waipounamu Ngai Tahu. They have kept the 'b' and the 'l' in their words. For example: a lala (kindling wood), a bubu (pupu shell or cats eye) and a shrub called bunui. Ka Rawe! (Great!)
