      In child development 'ma' or 'mm' is one of the first vocalisations that an infant produces. It comes from the child sucking at the breast. In some languages the mm sound is associated with food, and of course mammary.

      @TK Rage mama, mater, and all the others beginning with 'ma' actually all existed long before the placement of English language into the Indo-European Language Tree. The English length took it *from* any of the antecedent languages.

    Couple of years ago, I learned from a duet I did with a gentleman who is Maori and had to learn more! What a gorgeous country, New Zealand which by the way, the first country to give women the right to vote. While looking at art on a totem, I had seen very similar in Alaska's Inuit. Which then led me to Pangaea.
    A documentary on Asian eyes which covers the world, blond blue eyed fall in that mix as well. Jennifer Lawrence was one example. Fascinating! Many Asians are learning there is "Native American" (I use that loosely) in their ancestry DNA. If you look, really look at people's faces, have the desire of "Knowledge Is Power," seek.
    While watching a Korean series depicting the Silla kingdom in 300, one of the Hawrang could be cast as a Native American. Thus, my journey to learn more.
    A few years ago, you could put an image of yourself and an image ie celebrity would be matched. Imagine my surprise when an Asian actress who I'd never heard of, was my face match!
    We had many Samoan families in our church as most were entertainers in Central Florida.
    They are so very lovely, caring, big hearted beautiful spirits. I have missed them since moving away.
    Smule.com is the site that started with my singing, leading to the knowledge of the Maori. A cellphone or computer and earbuds are all you need. A sweet lady in Indonesia loves jazz and her house is simple. I have sung with a French speaking girl doing my best to sing in French. A gent in the Canary Islands is another. I find it phenomenal that the world in the state it's in, that a group of people can make a connection with music. A variety of languages, songs that are known to be a certain way, gets rearranged and those who play instruments, will record a piece, put it on the site so that your accompaniment will be acoustic guitar only, piano, etc.
    I have never mentioned this site before but seeing this performance of such expressive and talented people (and my Maori guy) I hope you will give it a shot. I have seen some who are not paying and don't know if the company does that due to their locations ie not so economically well off as others. I used to sing with the Canadian based Singsnap but no computer and they went with an alternative platform available only to those who have an IPhone. Quite a while ago and last I checked, still nothing. I made friends and have lost many as health declined. I *miss* the camaraderie of Singsnap, the ability to change the key, etc. I know several couples who met through the site and are happily married!
    Give it a shot. Music is good for the body, mind and soul!
    The next time you put together a sandwich for a quick bite to eat meal, think of the miracles it takes to get from seed to harvest from all over the world to ships, trucks, markets, to your home, the electricity to keep condiments and the vegetables fresh to create that sandwich! So many of us don't have a single slice of bread nor water. Peace be with you.

    Cameraguy humour - that Maori skirts cause Moire.
    For everyone else - Moire is an interference pattern inside the camera caused by an object in the scene having a smaller size in the image compared to the pixel size of the sensor - and this video is one of the best examples out there to show it.
    And yeah, the groups voices are a-maaaaz-ing!

      Māori moiré!
      Since this is New Zealand, they shouldn't have to travel far to be able to have…
      Mordor Māori moiré.
      Judging from the likes on the video, I'm sure most of us would appreciate seeing additional, similar videos from them, so we all want…
      *more Mordor Māori moiré!*
