Nothing notable about this word/neologism. Appears to be a recently invented Māori word for Cacao, and that's it. Also appears to have been invented by the company that trademarked the word, so really, there seems to be a bit of unencyclopedic promotion going on here.

 * Keep: Language formation is an interesting topic, it is fascinating to see the origin of words. That someone has picked up on the word for commercial use should not detract from information that gives a history to the creation of a word, and the ongoing evolution of a language.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Riyhone (talk • contribs) 04:11, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
