kōpura
1. (noun) seed kūmara, kūmara tubers.
He tika titiro ai ngā tūpuna ki ngā pō tika hei rerenga mō te kūmara, hei ngā pō kore ua nō te mea ki te rokohanga te kōpura kūmara e te ua ka mate (TKO 11/1920:4). / It's right that the ancestors considered what were the correct nights for planting kūmara and nights when there was no rain, because if it rained the kūmara tubers would die.
