Kiekie (spider)

Kiekie is a word used to refer to a spider, specifically in the Māori language of New Zealand. It is a common term used by Māori people when discussing or referring to spiders in general. While "pūngāwerewere" is also a valid word for spider in Māori, "kiekie" is another frequently used synonym. There might be subtle regional or dialectical variations in the specific types of spiders the term "kiekie" refers to, or in the contexts where one term might be preferred over the other. Further specific identification would likely require additional descriptive words or clarification regarding the spider's characteristics.
