Kei roto i tētahi papa whakawhiti, i tētahi panera rānei kua āraia ki te rino ngā whati hiko o ngā taputapu hiko iti-ngaohiko, ā, he maha ngā wā ka whakanohoia te whati matua ki waenganui hei taurite i te kawenga, ā, ka whakaritea ngā whati takitahi kia poutū, kia wehewehea hoki hei tiaki i ngā ara iahiko motuhake pērā i te rama, i ngā putanga hiko rānei. Ko te tūranga o te kakau o te whati e tohu ana i tōna āhua, ko te "runga" te tikanga he "ki runga" me te "raro" te tikanga he "weto," ahakoa ko te wāhi i roto i tētahi whare he wāhi pokapū, he wāhi ratonga rānei e taea te uru atu pērā i te karāti, te rūma raro, te rūma kakahu ratonga rānei.
Te whakatakotoranga o te papaaho me te papa whakawhiti

Kaiwawao Matua:
I ngā papa whakawhiti nui, he mea tino pai te whakanoho i te whati hiko matua ki roto i te pou pokapū hei tohatoha ōrite i te ia ki ngā peka i ia taha, ka taea hoki te whakaiti i te rahi e hiahiatia ana o ngā pae pahi matua.

Ngā kaiwawao takitahi:
I roto i te papa whakawhiti, ka whakaritea ngā whati hiko takitahi ki ngā wāhanga motuhake. Ko ia whati hiko he mea hanga mō tētahi ara iahiko motuhake, pērā i ngā putanga rama, hiko rānei.

Wāteatanga:
Kei te nuinga o te wā ka tū te papa whakawhiti hiko i tētahi wāhi iti te haere o te tangata i roto i tētahi whare, pērā i te karāti, te rūma raro, te rūma kati rānei.
Tūnga me te āhua o te kaiwhatu

Whakakā/Whakaweto:
Ko te tūranga o te kakau e tohu ana i te āhua o te kaiwawao. I te nuinga o te wā, ina kei te tūranga "runga" te kakau, ka kā te ara iahiko. Ina kei te tūranga "raro", ka mate te ara iahiko.

I hinga:
Mena kua pakaru te whati hiko nā te hapa, tera pea kei te tūranga waenga te kakau. Hei tautuhi anō, me nuku tuatahi te kakau ki te tūranga "whakaweto" (ki raro) i mua i te whakahokinga ki te "kā" (ki runga).
