2. (modifier) slippery.
Ehara koe i te tangata; he taurekareka nō roto i te kākā kai amio; i puta mai koe i roto i te pōhatu pāremoremo, i te aruhe taratara (JPS 1946:221). / You are not a man; you are a lowly person from amongst the kākā birds, constantly on the move in search of food; you are a survivor from the slippery stones [i.e. oven stones slippery with grease], from the oven covered only with rough ferns [i.e. not of sufficient importance to be covered with plaited mats].
