rauemi
1. (noun) resource, material.
Kāore e ōrite ēnei waka ki ērā i mahia i te tōtara me te kauri, ina ka tere pirau, otiia he pātata ngā rauemi hanga ki ngā ara wai, he tere ki te hanga, he tino pai mō te wā poto noa (Te Ara 2013). / These vessels are not like those made of tōtara or kauri because they rotted quickly, but the building resources were handy to waterways, they were quick to make, and they made an excellent temporary means of transportation.
