Ina tū te hunga mātakitaki ki mua i te matapihi tirotiro o te whare tirotiro moana nui, ka tūtaki rātou ki te kaukau ataahua o ngā "mema" me ngā rōpū ika i te moana kikorangi hohonu. Te āhua nei kei te puta mai he puoro wairua mai i te hohonutanga o te moana, he tino ōrite ki ia nekehanga a ngā kaiwhakaari – ehara tēnei i te makutu, engari he merekara i hangaia e te mea hou i raro i te wai.pūnaha oro ngaio.I roto i te mara o te oro, he angitu te whakatō tipu kua pakekeoroKo te hangarau mai i te rangi ki te wai me ngā mātotoru me ngā āhuatanga tino rerekē te whakamātautau tino pai mō te pūtaiao rauemi, te tukatuka tohu, me te hangarau oro.

Hei whakatutuki i tēnei whakaaturanga i raro i te wai, ko te taahiraa tuatahi ko te wikitoria i te wero "ora" o ngā taputapu matua. Ko te pūnaha hikohiko me te pūnaha ara iahiko aukume o te mea noangā pūnaha oro kounga teiteika rahua, ka poto rānei te ara iahiko ina pā atu ki te wai, i te wā e mau ana i raro i te wai ngā mahi ngaiongā kaikōrerohe hoahoa rūma ātete pēhanga kua hiritia katoatia, ā, he mea takai motuhake ā rātou wae taraiwa kia tū atu ki te pēhanga wai o ētahi mita, tae atu ki ngā tekau mita te hohonu. Kāore e taea e te rauemi o tōna anga te ātete noa i te waikura roa o te wai moana, engari ka taea hoki te hono pai i ngā ngaru oro ki roto i te wai – nā te mea, ko te tere horapa o te oro i roto i te wai he neke atu i te whā ngā wā i te hau, ā, he tino rerekē hoki ngā āhuatanga whakaiti pūngao. I taua wā anō,hopuoro ahokore ringaringame tino hono ngā pūnaha whakarongo takutai kua whakaritea mō ngā kaiwaiata o uta, ngā kaihautū rānei, me wehe atu ki te ao o raro i te wai kia mārama ai te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero o ngā tohutohu, me te kore e whakauru i te haruru mai i te takutai ki raro i te wai.mara oro.

Ko te 'roro' o tēnei pūnaha matatini he wae tukatuka matua me ngā āheinga tukatuka kaha. Me whakahaere tahi ngā ao oro e rua: ngā hongere whakaaturanga o raro i te wai me ngā hongere kōrero o uta, ngā puoro, me ngā pānga. Nā te rerekētanga nui o te wā i roto i te horapa o te oro i waenga i te hau me te wai, me mahi te tukatuka i te whakatikatika whakaroa tika o te taumata mirihekona mā te taima. Hei tauira, ina whakatangihia he pao kaha o te puoro o uta, ko tetukatukatātai me te whakahaere i te tohu hei hanga i te rere i raro i te waikaikōreroka tukuna te wiri auau-iti e rite ana i mua paku atu i te kaikorero o uta. Mā tēnei, i roto i te tirohanga a te hunga whakarongo, ka taea te tino tukutahi i te nekehanga o te ngaru wai tirohanga, te pānga auau-iti e pāngia ana e te tinana, me te puoro e rangona ana e ngā taringa, ka hangaia he whakaaro rumaki o "ngā ngaru oro e puta mai ana i raro i te wai".

Ko te whakatikatika oro tētahi atu wero matua. He kaha ake ngā āhuatanga mimiti o te wai mō te oro i ērā o te hau, inā koa he tino ngoikore ngā wāhanga auau teitei. Nō reira, ko ngā tawhā o te oro i raro i te wai kua whakatapuangā kaiwhakaōritehe tino rerekē i ērā o ngā pūnaha whenua, e hiahia ana kia nui ngā whakakaha auau-iti me ngā tautuhinga whakatikatika auau-tiketike kia mau tonu ai te taurite me te mārama o te oro whakamutunga e tae atu ana ki ngā taringa o te hunga whakarongo. Ko tete pehi urupareme āta aro ake te wāhi pāho i te takutai, nā te mea ka puta pea ngā whakaata oro kāore e taea te matapae i ngā taiao haumākū me ngā mata wai whānui. He mea tika kiaaroturukime te pehi i ngā aue katoa i te wā tonu kia maeneene ai te pāhotanga i te papaanga.

Ko te ngākau mana o te pūnaha he maha ngā mea e titoa anangā whakakaha mana ngaio. Me tino pumau ngā whakakaha reo i raro i te wai, me ngā āheinga taurite kawenga motuhake hei aro atu ki ngā wero pea e pā ana ki te kawe wai. Katoangā whakakahae whakahaerehia ana e te tukatuka mā te whatunga, e whakahaere ana i ngā rautaki whakaritenga hiko me te tiaki uaua. Mā te hoahoa ā-wai o tewhakaranu oro atamai, ka taea e ngā kaiwhakahaere o uta, e ngā kaihanga oro rānei te karanga ngāwari i ngā whakaaturanga kua whakaritea pērā i te "haereere moana", te "ngaru hihiri", te "moana hohonu ngaro" rānei, ka huri i ngā tawhā katoa o ngā mara oro wai me whenua mā te pāwhiri kotahi, ka huna i te uauatanga hangarau i muri i te mahi ngāwari.

I te mutunga, he angitu i raro i te waipūnaha oroHe nui atu ngā mahi e tutuki ana i te 'hanga oro i raro i te wai'. Ka hurihia te wai hei rūma kaikorero nui rawa atu, ka whakauruhia ia hurihanga o te kaiwhakaari me ia hurihanga o te ika hei kōrero oro nui, ātaahua hoki. Ka pakaruhia e tēnei te tirohanga tuku iho o ngā wai hei arai oro, ka hurihia hei reo e hono ana i ngā mea whakamiharo tirohanga me te ohorere whakarongo, ka hangaia he whakataetae matua ahurei, uaua hoki ki te tārua mō ngā kaupapa ahurea me te tūruhi teitei, ka waiho ia whakaaturanga hei haerenga tino rumaki ki te mahara o te hunga mātakitaki.
