Is 'Warauwerawera' a typo?

edit

The name 'Warauwerawera' was added to this page in 2012 with a reference to a PDF from www.puketeraki.co.nz (see revision). However, the archived version of this PDF uses 'Wharauwerawera' rather than 'Warauwerawera', so either it was a typo on the Wikipedia page back in 2012 or the PDF was subsequently updated.

It is concerning that recent uses of 'Warauwerawera' in other publications may have been informed by a typo here.

Some other sources using 'Wharauwerawera' include:

Alternatively, https://kahurumanu.co.nz/atlas offers the name 'Wharewerawera' citing three references. Note the closeness in meaning of 'wharau' and 'whare'. The atlas doesn't mention whether 'Wharauwerawera' was also considered.

Whether 'Wharauwerawera' or 'Wharewerawera' is preferred warrants further discussion.

Meanwhile, the page could be updated to offer both 'Wharauwerawera' and 'Wharewerawera' as potential names in place of 'Warauwerawera'. Franzo (talk) 21:33, 4 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
