@@miniconcertsdehinetahiti2968 waitī and waitā are 2 of the 9 stars of matariki. Waitī watches over (the awa.. rivers), (roto lakes) etc.... Waita watches over the oceans. Have a google

[@mizdelnoanoa4521]

Waitī and Waitā are the twin sister stars that are apart of the Matariki stars which in English terms is the 7 sisters that sit in the sky.. The 7 stars that are sitting close together in the sky.. My daughter is named Waitā after one of those twin sisters.. Hopefully this helps u understand our language more.. Thank you for sharing with us x
