About Hine-te-aparangi / Aparangi

"...Hine-i-te-aparangi, his [Kupe's] wife [5 children], ...Hine-te-ura, Kupe’s daughter... ... stretched forth her hand into the water to get a stone as a sinker for the bottom of the net, the one she got was quite different from any she had seen before, and so it was called inanga." (Whatahoro & Smith, 2015).
