I pulled that from memory, I kid you not, but I won't vouch for flawless
spelling. There might be whole syllab;les missing...


The New Zealanders do with a hill called
"Taumata*whakatangihanga*koauau*o*tamatea*turi*puk akapiki*maunga*horo*nuku*pokai*whenua*kitanatahu"

"The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of
mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute
to his loved one".

.... and no it's not from memory, I had to google it to get it correct.
