  1. The voiceless bilabial fricative [ɸ] (similar to English wh as pronounced by those without the wine-whine merger) historically was the dominant realization of this sound. However, in contemporary Māori, the most common pronunciation is [f].
  2. Stress falls on the first long vowel or on the first diphthong. Otherwise, it is on the first syllable but never earlier than the fourth-last vowel in a word, with both long vowels and diphthongs counting twice.
