pānga riterite

1. (noun) proportion.

I te tinana tūturu, kei te takiwā o te hauwaru te rahi o te upoko i te rahi o te tinana. He rerekē te pānga riterite o te poupou e whakaaturia nei. He neke atu i te hautoru te rahi o te upoko i te rahi o te katoa o te tinana (RTA 2014:126). / With a real body, the size of the head is in the vicinity of an eighth of the size of the body.
