The new moon determined the start of the lunar month, which lasted 29 and a half days. Rather than referring to the days of the month, Māori spoke of nights, and each night had its own name. Generally, Whiro was the first night of the new moon and Mutuwhenua was the last.
Ko te marama/atarau ka tohu ā hea tīmata ai te marama. E 29 me te hāwhe rā te roa o ia marama. Kāore te Māori o mua e kōrero mō ngā rā o te marama, kōrero kē ia mō ngā pō. He ingoa tō tēnā pō, he ingoa tō tēnā pō. Hei te nuinga o ngā maramataka ko Whiro te pō tuatahi, ko Mutuwhenua te pō whakamutunga. He pai ētahi pō mō te whakatō kai me te hī ika, ko ētahi pō kāore i pai.
