This word denotes an expert in any branch of knowledge, religious or secular, and a skilled practitioner of an art or craft. It includes (but is not limited to) those whose function is primarily ritual and priestly. The word is ultimately derived from Proto-Polynesian *tufunga “expert, highly skilled artisan”, through Proto-Tahitic *tafunga “priest, expert”. The specifically priestly connotations are thus shared with cognate terms in Hawaiian, Tahitian, Rarotongan and Tuamotuan. It is possible that the form this word has taken in Mäori is due to an association with the (originally quite separate) term tohu “to show, point out”, inherited from Proto Tahitic *tohu “point out, indicate”. There was a separate Proto-Polynesian term for a priest in the sense of a shaman or expert in ritual, *täula. This is reflected by the Mäori word täura, meaning (in the nineteenth century) a novice tohunga in advanced stages of training in ritual matters, or a priest who accompanied an army into battle. In modern Mäori this word is also used for a student doing post-graduate study. .[050409]
