Niu
It is not clear why the term "niu" (meaning "coconut") is mentioned in this article as there is no apparent connection between "niu" and "pahu." 173.89.236.187 (talk) 20:59, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I suppose, the preference for coconut wood. Heavenlyblue (talk) 00:24, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

The pahu was a large oblong piece of wood
From the page Pā: "Standard features included a community well for long term supply of water, designated waste areas, an outpost or an elevated stage on a summit on which a pahu would be slung on a frame that when struck would alarm the residents of an attack. The pahu was a large oblong piece of wood with a groove in the middle. A heavy piece of wood was struck from side to side of the groove to sound the alarm." This special-purpose, all-wood type of pahu should be added here. Does anyone have further knowledge of this? Heavenlyblue (talk) 00:30, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
