kurahaupō
1. (noun) lunar halo - sometime written as kura-hau-pō.
Ki te tū te kurahaupō i te marama, ki te kōtea te āhua, he āhua pai anō te marangai; ki te wanawana te āhua, arā ki te ihiihi te āhua o te kurahaupō, o te kura-hau-awatea rānei, he tohu tēnā he marangai kei te haere mai, he hau hoki (JPS 1927:357). / If a lunar halo appears, and it appears pale, then the rain will be all right; should the lunar or solar halo presents a quivering awesome appearance, that is a sign that a rainstorm and wind is coming.
