Wh is not a compound of "w" and "h", but represents the single voiceless consonant corresponding with "w", and is pronounced by emitting the breath sharply between the lips. It is a mistake to assimilate the sound to that of "f" in English, though this has become fashionable in recent years with some younger Maoris. Quiote from "First Lessons In Maori"by W. L. Williams D.D. and H. W. Williams M.A.., Litt.D. first ed 1862, Tenth ed revised 1940. The book was one that Dad had at Wigram and in UK. isc

Hi, my name is Alex, and I'm a student at Victoria University of Wellington. I am currently doing a Biographical-History research project on Working Lives in New Zealand, and I am looking for information about P.J.O (Peter) Buck. If anyone on this page is able to provide some details about him, or show me where I can find out more about him, please let me know, thanks. Alex.
NB: This a piece of Assessment Work, so I need proper Primary Source material - ideally if there is anyone who knew him I could possibly get in touch with, that would be a great primary source!
