NOTE.—The use of tekau for ten is the result of intercourse with Europeans. Before this intercourse tekau was generally used for twenty, and ten was designated by ngahuru, the regular Polynesian word. The numerals are so given by Savage in 1807. Nicholas, who visited New Zealand in 1814, gives for ten ngahuru, and for twenty tekau ma ngahuru; this one would expect to indicate thirty, and it probably did, as he gives ka rua tekau, forty. By 1820, according to Kendall, the modern use of tekau, ten, would appear to have become established. For some purposes—e.g., the counting of fish—takau in some districts indicated eleven. Ka iwa, ka ngahuru, ka tekau. This seems to support the suggestion that te kau was the tally. A thorough investigation of the ancient numeration is given by Best, Tr. xxxix, 150 et seq.
