Example Sentences
- "They are called taipos, or devils. If a Maori went fishing or birding between them in the Maungapakeha Valley, he might fail to get either birds or eels. The reason was that the Tinui taipo was angry, and would say to the Maungapakeha taipo, “This man has offended me; he shall catch no more eels or birds to-day.”"
- "Then, in close succession for a line of this character, come Taipo and Taipo Market Stations. The latter is notable for the Chinese appearance of its buildings."
