for including Māori kupu
A leading Māori intellectual property lawyer is criticising the inclusion of kupu Māori in the Oxford English Dictionary.
The dictionary's publishers announced earlier this month they would include dozens of words in te reo Māori in its latest update.
Koha (gift or offering), kōrero (conversation), and e hoa (friend) are among the words added because, the dictionary said, they are some of the te reo Māori words adopted by Kiwis and have had a "profound and lasting impact" on the way we speak.
