kaipukahu

1. (noun) abundance, plenty.

Kua ngaro ērā wā o te kaipukahu i te kaha nui o ngā tāruke maitai e karapoti ana i ngā whenua kōura o te takutai o Te Whānau-ā-Apanui (WT 2013:69). / That era of abundance has gone because there are so many steel crayfish pots hedging in the crayfish grounds of Te Whānau-ā-Apanui's coast.
