Ka haere ngā tāngata ki te whakangau kiwi, ka mahia ētahi rākau ririki, he mea āta hanga mārie, ka whakahei (here) ki ngā kakī o ngā kurī, hei mea kia pātētē aua rākau, ina haere ngā kurī (JPS 1895:142). / The people that went to hunt for kiwi would make some small pieces of wood. They were carefully made, and then tied to the dogs' necks, so that the pieces of wood would rattle when the dogs moved.
