toene
1. (verb) to set (of the sun).
Me hanga he tongi whero i te taha ki raro o te pōro, arā ki te taha tonga, hei ritenga mō Niu Tīrani; nā, ka takahuri te pōro, ka ngaro atu taua tongi ki roto ki te pōuritanga, arā kua toene te kānara (TWMNT 5/6/1877:144). / A red dot should be made on the bottom side of the ball, that is on the south side, to represent New Zealand. Now, when the ball spins around that spot disappears into the darkness, in other words the candle sets.
