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 "north". === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈraki/ [ˈɾɐki] === Noun === raki north Synonyms: tokerau, tūāraki drought ==== Coordinate terms ==== compass points: [edit] === Adjective === raki dry === References === === Further reading === John C.
