toati
1. (noun) cross beams (of a boat).
I te kaha o te tākiri a te ika, kāre e roa ka ngaro ngā toati o te waka ki raro i te tāmure, i te hāpuku, i te tarakihi, i te aha atu, i te aha atu rānei (WT 2013:37). / The fish are biting so well that it isn't long before the cross beams of the boat disappear below the snapper, groper, tarakihi and whatever else.
