The word 'unuhia' has many meanings. It can mean to draw on or pull out. When used in this karakia it implies taking off and removing the tapu of the meetings that have
taken place. This karakia speaks to Rongo, the atua of peace.

Māori
Unuhia, unuhia
Unuhia ki te uru tapu nui
Kia wātea, kia māmā te ngākau, te
tinana, te wairua i te ara tangata
Koia e Rongo whakairia ake ki runga
kia tina
Tina!
Haumi ē, hui ē, tāiki ē!
English
Take off, withdraw,
Take off the supreme sacredness
To clear, to free the heart, the body
and the spirit of mankind
O Rongo suspend it on high,
Bind it and make it so
Join, group, and affirm
