Te Tuare

Serpentine style

I ahu mai tēnei epa i te tuarongo, i te pou mataaho rānei o tētahi pātaka i Taranaki. E whakaatu ana tēnei epa i te momo whakairo ‘tuare’, arā, he kōtihi ngā ūpoko, ā, he roa te tinana piko. E kī ana te kōrero i pērā te whakairo i ngā upoko hei tohu mō te maunga o Taranaki.
