E ai ki ngā kōrero, ko Kahutiaterangi te ingoa ake o Paikea. He tama ia nā Uenuku. I tēnei whakairo, e whakamau heru ana a Uenuku ki ngā makawe o Kahutiaterangi hei tohu i tana arikitanga. Heoi, nō te pātai a Ruatapu ki a Uenuku ki te heru māna, ka whakautua e tōna matua kāhore ia e whiwhi nā te mea he pōriro ia. Ka whakamātau a Ruatapu kia whakatahuri a ia te waka o Kahutiaterangi mā, kia toremi te katoa. Ko Kahutiaterangi te mōrehu, i ora ai i āna kauhau ki ngā atua o te moana kia āwhina i a ia. Ko tonoa mai ko te tohorā hei kawe i a ia ki uta. I te taenga atu ki uta ka hurihia tōna ingoa ki a Paikea.
