Te whakamāramatanga o te karu hiko
He taputapu whatu te karu hiko e whakamahia ana hei āwhina i te kanohi ki te kite i ngā mea nohinohi rawa, engari he uaua ki te tirotiro tika i ngā mea nohinohi mā te whakamahi i ngā kanohi, i ngā taputapu rānei.
E rua ngā momo karu hiko, arā, he karu hiko mārama me he karu hiko irahiko. E matapakihia ana i tēnei akoranga te karu hiko mārama, ā, ko tana mahi mō te kaupapa o te āhuahanga whatu ko te whakaata i te mārama, te hanganga o ngā whakaahua me te whakanui i ngā whakaahua o tētahi mea mā te whakamahi i tētahi karu arotahi.
Te mahi a te karu hiko
E rua ngā karāhe pūkohu o tētahi karu hiko māmā. Ko te karāhe pūkohu e tata atu ana ki te mea e tirohia ana ka kiia ko te karāhe whāinga. Ko te karāhe pūkohu e tata atu ana ki te kanohi o te kaimātakitaki ka kiia ko te karāhe kanohi, ko te karāhe kanohi rānei.
He iti te mea, ahakoa e tirohia ana mai i te pūwāhi tata, 25 cm te tawhiti, he iti tonu te koki i hangaia i waenganui i te kanohi me te mea. Nō reira, ko te mahi a te karāhe arotahi he whakanui i te ahua o te mea, me te whakanui hoki i te koki i waenganui i te kanohi me te ahua o te mea. Me tūturu ngā whakaahua i hangaia e ngā karāhe arotahi kia kitea ai mā roto i te karāhe kanohi. Kia tūturu ai te ahua i hangaia e te karāhe arotahi pūkohu, me nui ake te tawhiti o te mea (do) i te roa arotahi. Waihoki, kia nui ake te ahua i te mea, me tata te tawhiti o te mea ki te pūwāhi arotahi o te karāhe arotahi.
He tūturu te ahua o te karāhe arotahi, kia taea ai e te karāhe kanohi te whakaaro he mea te ahua. Ko te mahi a te karāhe kanohi ko te whakanui i te ahua tūturu i hangaia e te karāhe arotahi kia nui ake. He karāhe pūkohu te karāhe kanohi nā te mea e ai ki te kaupapa o te karāhe pūkohu, kia nui, kia poutū hoki te ahua i hangaia e te karāhe kanohi, me mariko te ahua.
Te whakanui katoa o te karuārai
He nui ake te rahi o te ahua o ngā mea e kitea ana mā te karuāwhio ina tirohia e ngā kanohi he iti rawa te wāhi e noho ana, he nui rawa rānei te wāhi e noho ana? Ko tēhea te mea hei karuāwhio arotahi me te karuāwhio kanohi, he karuāwhio pūkohu he nui te roa arotahi, he karuāwhio pūkohu rānei he iti te roa arotahi? Ka taea te whakautu i ēnei pātai i muri i tō ako i te whārite o te karuāwhio.
