Ka hemo anake te tou o te tōtara, e tahuna nei te rākau tōtara ki te ahi, e papā nei te tōtara i te ahi, koia tēnā, ko tōna tou i hemo, i pāterotero (W 1971:45). / Only the bottom of the tōtara breaks wind when tōtara wood is burnt with fire, so when the tōtara explodes in the fire, then that is its bottom breaking wind, or farting.
Ka puta a Koro ki waho, ka hemo te tou, ka mea ake, "Aiā!" (HJ 2012:197). / When Grandad went outside, he farted and said, "That's better!"
