1. (loan) (noun) hare, Lepus capensis - larger than a rabbit with longer ears and powerful hind legs.

Otiia kaua e kāinga ēnei o ngā mea e whakahoki ake ana i te kai, o ngā mea hoki e tararua ana ngā matimati, e titore pū ana; ko te kāmera, ko te hea, ko te koni, nō te mea e whakahoki ake ana rātou i te kai, otiia kīhai i tararua te matimati; hei poke ēnā ki a koutou (PT Tiuteronomi 14:7). / Nevertheless, of those that chew the cud or have cloven hooves, you shall not eat, such as these: the camel, the hare, and the coney; for they chew the cud but do not have cloven hooves; they are unclean for you.
