aho tapu
1. (noun) sacred first line - the first line in weaving that sets the rest of the pattern.
E kīia ana e ngā kaumātua ko te aho tāniko tuatahi he aho tapu tērā (TAH 21:27). / The elders call the first cross-thread in finger weaving the aho tapu, the sacred thread
The title of my work AHO TAPU and meaning, the meaning to me is simple without that one strand of Dna that was once my biological father there would simply be no mat as in myself existing.
Without one strand the rest could not exist
