[KP/MHR] #[Extract from Te Mätäpunenga ©] Päkehä In modern Maori a word used primarily to denote a person of predominantly European ancestry (glossed for example by Ryan as “Non-Mäori, European, Caucasian”), probably originally applied mainly to English-speakng people (as against Wïwï, “French” and Tararä “Dalmatian”, etc.), although in terms such as kai päkehä, a newly-introduced variety of kumara, it also had a more general connotation of “foreign”. Its origin as a word denoting a class of people is uncertain; possible sources include pakepakehä or päkehakeha, a kind of fair-skinned ethereal being, and also a term denoting a disordered, awkward or outlandish appearance (which could well have been the impression made by many visiting sailors). It possibly incorporates the Proto-Polynesian word root *kesa “a colour term denoting pale, unsaturated colours”, reflected in Mäori by *keha “whitish, pale”.
