waiika
1. (modifier) unfruitful (of the seasons).
E tae ki uta horaia te tau ki a Kahutuanui, kia noho rawa ake ai i te taha o te ahi e nui ana te tārāuma hei riri mō te tau waiika, mō te tau tukuroa (TWMNT 22/5/1877:134). / When you reach the land instruct Kahutuanui in the seasons of the year, that when he finally rests at the fireside he may have a broad chest to battle the unfruitful years, the years of famine.
