Examples
-
Though not nearly as much as Beverley's kehua who are going wild, so I'd first better tell you a bit about Beverley's three husbands?
-
OK, so Louis isn't gay after all? so this incest thing is catching and no wonder the kehua have been so rowdy.
-
But the kehua are flapping and I have to tell you that Beverley was adopted in New Zealand after her real father killed her mother when he discovered she was having an affair.
-
I see I haven't even got round to mentioning the kehua? the Maori spirits of the wandering dead? that have been following Beverley and her family all these years.
-
Pölkkypää , kehua olla päälle hänelle , raivo hankkia -nsa oma foorumi joten aivan toukokuu hyödyttää polveutua -nsa asiantuntemus.

knitandpurl commented on the word kehua
At the start of Kehua! by Fay Weldon, there's this:
"May the Maori amongst you excuse this fictional foray
into your world, for which, believe me,
I have the greatest respect, having as a child
in the Coromandel encountered both taniwha and kehua."
