1. (verb) to be slack, spiritless.
Ahakoa pēhea te ōrite o te huri o te māhunga, te hiki o te waewae, te wiri o te ringa, ki te kore e uru mai te wana ki roto i te waiata, ka memeha, ka waimate noa iho tāu i waiata ai (Wh4 2004:58). / No matter how much in unison the head, the lifting of the feet and the quivering of the hands are, if the excitement in the song is not evident then what you are singing is lacklustre and spiritless.
