paekura
1. (noun) lost property, finders keepers - named from the red feathers dropped into the sea by Tauninihi and later recovered on the shore by Māhina.
Koia tēnei pepeha mō te mea kite, ē ka kitea te taonga makere, "Kāore e hoatu e ahau, tā te mea ko te paekura kite a Māhina." (NM 1928:64). / Hence this saying about something that has been found, when the possession was discarded, "I will not give it to you because it is the lost property that Māhina found."
