taipō - goblin
Taipo, n. Goblin.
Note.—This word is used by Maoris believing it English, and by Europeans believing it Maori, it being apparently neither. Colenso suggests tae-po, but this is not used by the Maori.
Williams Dictionary
Ki te kore te taipō e puta mai, me aha au?If the ghost doesn't appear, what should I do?
