whakahihikotanga
1. (noun) motivation, inspiration.
Heoi kāore i mutu noa ngā tautohetohe hāhi nei mō tēnei mea te tūranga tohu o ngā anahera, me te whakahua o Rātana i te kupu ‘māngai’ hei whakamārama i tana whakahihikotanga e te Wairua Tapu (Te Ara 2017). / However the theological debate over the role of the angels and Rātana’s use of the term māngai (the mouthpiece) to describe his inspiration by the Holy Spirit, just would not end.
