1. no wonder, exactly, that's it.
(Te Pihinga Textbook (Ed. 2): 8, 106; Te Pihinga Audio Tapes/CDs (Ed. 2): exercise 40;)
Kua pakū rawa ngā pū, kua karanga a Te Mānga, “Ha! E Hiko! Kua takahi ō whanaunga i tā koutou rongo!” Ka mea a Te Hihiko, “Ākuanei ia aha ai; ka takahi anō ia i tāna kupu. Koia anō!” (JPS 1900:66). / The guns had gone off and Te Mānga exclaimed, “Ha! Hiko! Your relations have broken the peace you made with them!” Te Hihiko said, “What will he do next? He has trodden on his own word! It is exactly so!”
