raki

1. nominative plural of rak
2. accusative plural of rak

From Proto-Oceanic *laki (“westerly wind”) (cognate with Fijian draki "weather" and Hawaiian laʻi "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 larger North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui) and South Island (Te Waipounamu) of New Zealand, the usefulness of such terminology led the Māori to adopt this word for "north".^[3]
