Ururangi
Tāne/male (Greek: Merope)
The star associated with the winds.
E Ururangi whakamāriretia te atua matakerepō koi pūkerikeri mai koi haurokuroku mai, koi huripari mai. Engari kē kia hau kōangi, kia kōtengitengi kia purea ai au, kia whakahauoratia ai au.
Ururangi, pacify the unseeing god, lest the wind blows violently, blasting and fierce hitherto. But instead let it be a breeze, a gentle caressing wind so I may be revitalised and refreshed.
