He wahine tere ki te wera, he tere anō hoki ki te whakamahuru; he wahine pūkorero, he hāngai anō hoki ki te kōrero; he wā ka tīhāhā, he wā anō ka whakamōwai (TTR 1990:14). / A woman who became hot and bothered quickly but also quickly calmed down; articulate and forthright, she would be roaring with rage one moment and all smiles and contrition the next.
