1. (New Zealand) A traditional Māori pit oven, in which (suitably wrapped) raw food is lain on a base of heated stones. [from 19th c.]
   • 2018, Bruce Pascoe, Dark Emu, Scribe, published 2020, page 134:

     The ovens were used to cook food in identical fashion to the Maori hangi and the Papuan stone ovens.

   • 2015, Anne Ashby, Worlds Collide:

• Ghani, Hagin, ahing, anigh, ghani

From Ottoman Turkish هانكی (hangi), خانغی (hangı, “which”), from earlier قنغی (kangı), from Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (qanqï, “which”), from Proto-Turkic *kan-, *kań-, a derivation from the interrogative stem *ka-. Ultimately cognate to Turkish hani (“where”), Old Uyghur [script needed] (kanu, “what, which”), Karakhanid [script needed] (kayū, “what, which”), Bashkir ҡайһы (qayhı, “which”), Kyrgyz кай (kay, “what, which”), but its relation to the original word is obscure.^[1]
