rūma kaukau
1. (loan) (noun) bathroom.
Ka mahia he kāinga tuarua, itiiti noa iho nei, i runga i tētahi toropuke e anga ana ki te huarahi matua: he rūma kaukau wehe nei tētahi wāhi (i te wā o te takahuritanga o te rau tau, kāore anō kia kitea he mea pērā) me tētahi taupoki, he mea huna (TTR 1996:202). / A second, smaller house was built on a rise overlooking the main road: it had a separate bathroom (something not yet seen at the turn of the century) and a secret trapdoor.
