Me whakakapi te pūwero o te toki o muri, ā, kia hia te auau?
Me whakakapi te pūwero o te toki o muri. Ahakoa kāore he huringa whakakapinga pumau o te pūwero o te toki o muri, me whakakapi ina pakaru, ina tawhito rānei, ā, kua pakaru te pūwero o te toki o muri, ka kore ai e taea e te pūwero te mahi i te mahi mimiti ru, ka wiri te anga me te tangi rerekē. Mena he nui te wiri, ka pā ki te pumau o te motuka i te wā e taraiwa ana, ā, ka pā ki te whakamarie o te motuka. Ko te pūwero o te toki o muri te hononga ngohengohe i waenga i te toki me te ringaringa, ā, ka taea hoki e te pūwero o te toki o muri te tukinga i waenga i te pūwero o te toki, ā, ka kore e ōrite te tukemata o te wira o muri me te wira, ka pakaru rānei ngā potae rerekē.
Te tikanga whakakapinga o te pū o te toki o muri: tangohia ngā tīwiri me ngā ngongo o te toki o muri e rua i muri i te hikitanga o te motuka, kātahi ka whakamahia te taputapu motuhake o te ringaringa rapa o te toki o muri hei tango i te ringaringa rapa tawhito, ā, hei whakamutunga, pania te hinu ki te ringaringa rapa hou, ka tāuta. Ko te toki o muri e pā ana ki te wāhanga o te pou taraiwa o muri o te tuku hiko o te waka, he mea tito mai i ngā piriti haurua e rua, ka taea te whakatinana i te nekehanga rerekē o te piriti haurua, ā, ka whakamahia hoki te toki o muri hei tautoko i te wira me te hono i te taputapu wira o muri. Mena he waka e peia ana e te toki o mua, ko te toki o muri he piriti whai muri, e mahi ana i te mahi amo anake. Mena ehara te toki o mua i te toki taraiwa, ā, ko te toki o muri te toki taraiwa, i tēnei wā, hei tāpiri atu ki te mahi amo, ka mahi anō hoki i te taraiwa me te whakaheke tere me te tere rerekē.
Kāore he wā pumau mō te huringa whakakapinga o te ringaringa rapa o te toki o muri, engari ka whakatauhia i runga i te whakamahinga me te nui o te kakahu. He wāhanga nui te ringaringa rapa o te toki o muri o te motuka, ko tana mahi nui ko te mimiti i te ru. Mēnā he raruraru ki te ringaringa rapa o te toki o muri, ka pā tika ki te pumau o te taraiwa me te whakamarie o te waka, nā te mea kāore e taea e te ringaringa rapa kua pakaru te mimiti me te whakaroa i te wiri o te rori, ka tika te haere mā roto i te anga ki roto i te waka, ka puta he oro rerekē kino. Hei tāpiri, ki te nui rawa te wiri, ka pā kino pea ki te pumau o te waka.
Hei wāhanga nui o te tuku hiko o te waka, ko te toki o muri he mea hanga i ngā haurua piriti e rua, ā, ka taea te whakahaere i te nekehanga rerekē o ngā haurua piriti. Ehara i te mea he taputapu anake e whakamahia ana hei tautoko i te wira me te hono i te wira o muri, mō te waka e peia ana e te toki o mua, ko te toki o muri te mahi hei piriti whai muri, e kawe ana i te taumaha o te tinana. Mō ngā waka he toki o mua ehara i te toki taraiwa, ko te toki o muri te mahi hei toki taraiwa, hei tāpiritanga ki te mahi kawe, ko ia anō hoki te kawenga mō te taraiwa, te whakaheke tere me ngā mahi rerekē.
I roto i ngā mahi tiaki o ia rā, ahakoa kāore he huringa whakakapinga pumau o te ringaringa rapa o te toki o muri, me tirotiro tonu e te rangatira tōna āhua, ā, ina kitea he tohu pakaru, he tawhito rānei, me whakakapi i te wā tika kia pai ai te haumaru o te taraiwa. I taua wā anō, mā ngā tikanga taraiwa pai me te tiaki tonu i ngā waka ka roa ake te ora o te ringaringa rapa o te toki o muri.
