Otorohanga:

Otorohanga:

O food for a journey; torohanga stretched out, or caused to extend over a distance; toro also to scout, reconnoitre. The local Ngati-Maniapoto tradition is that a chief who travelled from here to Lake Taupo carried only a small quantity of food (O) which he caused by magical means and incantations and his powerful mana to last him for the long journey.
