wahine

[kayakamina]

Why wahine ? I can see wine and husband ?

[kettledrum]

a wahine is a Maori woman. I agree it's a pretty loose clue: I wonder if it's a misprint for native woman - & we're missing an "a", but I can't think of anything better.

[kayakamina]

Yes not the best clue! I queried your answer because you gave it so promptly and confidently I thought I must be missing something obvious. K

[kettledrum]

sorry kayakamina....mea culpa, mea maxima culpa! I should have put a question mark. Apologies also to creamegg...I do hope I haven't misled.
