Te manu aute nō te iwi Māori: Mehemea ka whatua taua mea, kia rite tonu ki te āhua o te manu e rere nei. Ka mahia e te Maori hei manu, ko ngā paihau me te tinana o te manu. Ka takaia te tinana o te manu, me ngā paihau, ki te aute. Koia tōna ingoa he manu aute (JPS 1901:191). / The kite made of paper mulberry cloth of the Māori people. That thing was woven into the exact resemblance of a flying bird. It was made by the Māori as a bird having wings and a body, and these wings and body were wound around with paper mulberry cloth. That is why it was called a manu aute.
