He ririki noa ngā moutere o Poronihia Tawhiti, he roke kanae kei te awhi ki waho. He maha ngā moutere ririki papatahi. He iti iho ngā tipu kei ngā moutere o Poronihia Tawhiti, ki ērā moutere o Poronihia Tata. He uaua te whai oranga ki ngā moutere nei me te aha, ka mate rātou te waha i ō rātou taputapu katoa ina neke rātou. Ka whāia tēnei tauira a ngā Lapita e ō rātou uri whakaheke o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, i a rātou ka tūhura i te tata ki te katoa o ngā moutere o te moana nui nei.
