raki m (Hebrew spellingראקי)
raki
raki
FromProto-Oceanic*laki(“westerly wind”) (cognate withFijiandraki "weather" andHawaiianlaʻi "stillness, calm, peace");[1][2] sense of "dry" perhaps originally a semantic extension from the weather conditions brought by the wind surrounding New Zealand.
No words for the cardinal directions can be unambiguously reconstructed for Proto-Polynesian, as there would be little use for them on the small Polynesian islands. However, on the much largerNorth Island (Te Ika-a-Māui) andSouth Island (Te Waipounamu) of New Zealand, the usefulness of such terminology led the Māori to adopt this word for "north".[3]
