Work cat: The Maori meeting house, 2016: ECIP title page (whare whakairo) ECIP data (Not all meeting houses are whare whakairo. If a meeting house is not a whare whakairo, it might be called whare tupuna (ancestors house), wharenui (large house), whare runanga (meeting house) or whare puni (sleeping house). These names can be used quite interchangeably.)

Inside Austronesian houses, 2006 via WWW, May 9, 2016: page 205 (The Maori name for a meeting-house varies according to its function at a particular moment: whare tupuna (ancestral house), whare runanga (council house), whare hui (meeting-house), whare puni (sleeping house), whare manuhiri (guest house), and sometimes whare tapere (house of amusement). As some meeting-houses have become increasingly ornamented with carvings since the last century, they may be referred to as whare whakairo (carved house) as well.)
