moe pēpeke
1. (verb) to sleep curled up (with the knees bent).
Nā, e hoa mā, rite ana tātou ināianei ki te kupu o te waiata e mea nei, 'Moe tūturi, moe pēpeke, moe tūpoupou.' (TWMA 18/7/1884:4). / So, my friends, we are now just like what the words of the song say, 'Sleeping kneeling, sleeping with the legs bent, and sleeping swaying to and fro.'
