karawhiti

karawhiti [n] = graffiti in Māori

It may not be obvious at first but “karawhiti” is a loanword from English. All thanks to a rather small phonetic inventory of that beautiful Eastern Polynesian language, called also “te reo” (the language).

PS: The word “karawhiti” can be also a verb and then it means “to be uneven, irregular” or “to assemble, form up”.
