Te kirihou o te rapa

Ko te kaha o te rapa ki te whakapē i raro i ngā kaha o waho, me te pupuri i tōna āhua rerekē ahakoa kua whakakorea ngā kaha o waho, ka kiia ko te kirihou. Ko te tukanga whakanui ake i te kirihou o te rapa ka kiia ko te whakapē. He kirihou te rapa kia ōrite ai te whakaranu ki ngā momo tāpiri i te wā e whakaranu ana; He ngāwari ki te uru ki roto i ngā papanga kakahu i te wā e hurihuri ana; He pai te rere i te wā e whakaputa ana me te werohanga. Hei tāpiri, ka taea hoki e te whakahāngai te hanga i ngā āhuatanga o te rapa kia ōrite, kia māmā ai te whakahaere i te tukanga whakaputa. Heoi, ka taea e te whakahāngai whakawhiti te whakaiti i te kaha, te ngāwari, te ātete kakahu me ētahi atu āhuatanga o te rapa whakamomona, nō reira me tino whakahaere te mahi whakahāngai.
He tika te whakaritenga mō te kirihou o te rapa mata, ā, ahakoa he nui rawa, he iti rawa rānei, ka pā kino pea. Ka taea e te kirihou nui rawa o te rapa mata te whakaiti i ngā āhuatanga ā-tinana me ā-pūkaha o te rapa whakamomona, ka pā ki te whakamahinga o te hua. Mēnā he iti rawa te kirihou o te rapa mata, ka uaua te tukatuka, ā, ka uaua te whakaranu ōrite i te rauemi rapa; Mēnā ka hurihia, kāore e maeneene te mata o te hua haurua-oti ina pēhia; Mēnā he nui te whakahekenga, ka uaua te hopu i te rahi o ngā hua haurua-oti; I te wā e hurihia ana, ka uaua te mirimiri o te rīpene piri ki roto i te papanga, ka pakaru te papanga taura piri e iri ana, ā, ka tino whakaiti i te piri i waenga i ngā paparanga rauemi. Mēnā he koretake te kirihou, ka taea hoki te whakaputa i ngā āhuatanga hangarau me ā-pūkaha o te piri.
Nō reira, he whakaritenga motuhake kei roto i te hangarau tukatuka rapa mō te kirihou o te rapa mata. I te nuinga o te wā, ko ngā piripiri e whakamahia ana mō te paninga, te tuku, te waru, me te hanga piripiri hautai me nui te kirihou; ko ngā rauemi rapa me ngā rauemi hangahanga e hiahia ana ki ngā āhuatanga ā-tinana me ngā āhuatanga ā-mīhini teitei me te pakari pai o ngā hua haurua-oti me iti te kirihou; ko te kirihou o te piripiri i whakaputahia kei waenganui i ngā mea e rua.
