Taputapu motukahe whānuitia te whakamahinga o te tuku hiko, ā, e mōhiotia whānuitia ana i waenga i te hunga whai māramatanga taketake ki ngā motuka. Hei tauira, ko te tuku hiko o te motuka, te pou taraiwa, te rerekētanga, te taputapu urungi, tae atu ki ētahi wāhanga hiko pēnei i te hiki matapihi hiko, te horoi, me te pēki ringa hiko. Nā te mea he whānuitia te whakamahinga o ngā taputapu, ā, he mahi nui tā rātou i roto i ngā motuka, i tēnei rā ka kōrero tātou mō ngā mōhiotanga e pā ana ki ngā taputapu i roto i ngā motuka.

Ko te tuku taputapu tētahi o ngā tuku e whakamahia whānuitia ana i roto i ngā motuka, ā, ko āna mahi matua e whai ake nei:

1. Te Huringa Tere: Mā te hono i ngā taputapu e rua o ngā rahi rerekē, ka taea te whakarerekē i te tere o te taputapu. Hei tauira, ka taea e ngā taputapu i roto i te tuku hiko te whakaiti, te whakanui rānei i te tere e tukuna ana mai i te miihini kia tutuki ai ngā hiahia o te whakahaere o te motuka.
2. Huringa taipana: Ina honoa ngā taputapu e rua o ngā rahi rerekē, ka rerekē hoki te tere me te taipana e tukuna ana e te taputapu. Hei tauira, ko te whakaiti matua i roto i te pou taraiwa me te tuku o te motuka.
3. Te whakarerekētanga ahunga: Ko te kaha o te miihini o ētahi waka he poutū ki te ahunga o te nekehanga o te waka, nō reira me whakarerekē te ahunga o te tuku hiko hei taraiwa i te waka. Ko tēnei taputapu te nuinga o te wā hei whakaiti me te rerekētanga matua i roto i te waka.
I roto i ngā motuka, ka whakamahia e ētahi wāhanga ngā taputapu tika, ko ētahi ia ka whakamahia ngā taputapu porowhita. He pai te whai huatanga o ngā taputapu tika i te mea ka uru ngā niho ki roto, ka wetewete i te whānui o te niho katoa i te wā kotahi. Heoi, ko te ngoikoretanga ko te kore pumau, te pānga, me te nui o te haruru. I tētahi atu taha, he roa ake te tukanga whakauru niho o ngā taputapu porowhita, ā, he nui ake ngā niho e uru ana ki te whakauru ki te whakataurite ki ngā taputapu tika, ka hua ake he tuku maeneene, he kaha te kawe kawenga, ā, he iti te haruru me te pānga. Ko te ngoikoretanga matua o ngā taputapu porowhita ko te whakaputa i ngā kaha tuaka ina pāngia e ngā kaha noa, me tāuta ngā peera pana, ka hua ake he hanganga uaua ake.

Ngā whakaritenga mōngā taputapu motukahe teitei, me ātete te tinana taputapu ki te whati, me ātete te mata o te niho ki te waikura, ki te kakahu me te kaha ki te piri, arā, me mārō te mata o te niho, me pakari hoki te uho. Nō reira, he uaua hoki te hangarau tukatuka o ngā taputapu waka, me ēnei mahi:
Tapahi ➟ Hanga ➟ Whakamahana ➟ Mīhini ➟ Whakakikorua Parahi Wāhanga ➟ Whakakākahu ➟ Whakamātao ➟ Whakamahana Pāmahana-Iti ➟ Whakakī Pū ➟ Huri Niho (Huri Pai)
Ko tēnei tikanga tukatuka taputapu ehara i te mea he kaha me te pakari anake, engari he pakeke teitei hoki, ā, he ātete ki te kakahu o te mata o te niho.
