Ko te tiketike o ngā pakitara kia kotahi te whanganga; ko te whānui kia kotahi te whanganga me te tuke ringa, ka mutu. I pērā ai te tiketike kia tārewa ai te hau kōtao ki runga, ka puta ki waho o te whare (JPS 1929:258). / The height of the walls was one fathom; the width was one fathom and the length of the forearm from one elbow to the fingers of the other extended arm. The high walls were made like that so that the cold air would ascend and so escape from the house.
