parata
1. (loan) (noun) brother, cousin.
Taku whakakitenga ki te Pākehā ko te wati, mea atu ana ahau nō tōku parata te wati, nō taku putanga ki waho i te whare herehere ka kite ahau i Tauteka, ā homai ana e ia ngā rohi ka kai mātau, ā ka haehae te paraikete tawhito (TKM 24/5/1849:2). / I showed the Europeans the watch, and said that it belonged to my brother. After I left the gaol, I saw Tauteka; he gave me some bread; we ate together, and tore up an old blanket.
