Ngā taputapu pikoHe mea nui te mahi a ngā taputapu ki te tuku hiko, ā, he mea nui te mārama ki tōna whakatakotoranga kia pai ai te whakahaere o ngā mīhini. Ko ngā momo taputapu piko e rua ko ngā taputapu piko tika me ngā taputapu piko porowhita.

Taputapu whakarara tika:

He piko tikangā taputapuhe niho tika e anga whakarara ana ki te tihi o te koeko. Anei me pēhea te whakatau i tōna ahunga:

Whakaahua tū:
Whakaarohia kei te tū koe i te wāhi e tū ai ngā toki e rua.
Mā te nekehanga o tētahi taputapu ki te taha karaka ka puta te nekehanga o tētahi atu taputapu ki te taha whakamuri, me te hurihanga anō hoki.
Ko te ahunga o te hurihanga e whakaahuatia ana e pā ana ki te tāuru (taputapu taraiwa) me te tāpui (taputapu taraiwa).

He aha ngā taputapu bevel, ā, he aha ōna momo?

Taputapu porowhita porowhita:

Ngā taputapu porowhita porowhitahe rerekē nā te mea he niho porowhita te āhua e karapoti ana i te taputapu. Whakatauhia tō rātou aronga penei:

Te tirotiro i te piko:
Tirohia te taha o te porowhita o te taputapu kia matara atu i te kakau.
Ko te piko i te taha matau ko te hurihanga i te taha matau, me te hurihanga i te taha matau.
Tohu taputapu:

E whakaatu ana te tohu taputapu i te ahunga o te tuku hiko:

Ngā tohu paerewa:
He maha ngā wā ka whakaatuhia ngā taputapu hei "A ki B" "B ki A" rānei.
Ko te tikanga o "A ki B" ko te hurihanga o te taputapu A i te kotahi ahunga ka huri te taputapu B i te taha ke.
Ngā Āhuatanga Whatunga:

Mā te tirotiro i te mata o ngā niho taputapu ka āwhina i te whakatau i te ahunga o te hurihanga,

Te aroturuki i ngā tohu whakauru:
Ina hono ngā taputapu ki te whatunga, ka pa ngā niho tetahi ki tetahi.
Whāia ngā pūwāhi e pā ana i te tahuritanga o tētahi taputapu kia mōhio ai koe ki te ahunga hurihuri o tētahi atu taputapu.
