Ko tēnei te tohu o te niupepa reo Māori o Te Pipiwharauroa, he kupu whakamārama. Kei runga anō i tōna tohu ko te pipiwharauroa e rere atu ana i runga i te wharenui e nōhia ana e te kaumātua me te tamaiti. E ai ki te ētita ki a Pererika Pēneti: ‘Ko te take i waitohua ake tēnei ingoa, nā te mate ā-moa o ngā manu māori o Aotearoa. Ko te Pipiwharauroa anake te mea e hokihoki tonu mai ana. E manawanui nei au ki tēnei manu. He manu tawhito, he manu i takohatia ki a tātou e te hunga kua mene ki te pō, he puiaki nō ngā tīpuna. E kore rātou mō te hoki mai, ko tTe tohu o Te Pipiwharauroaātau kē ka haere ki a rātou. I ōna haerenga me ōna hokinga mai, ka kawe te Pipiwharauroa i te koa me te mauri ohooho ki te ngākau.’
