kauhaga more

kauhaga more
tumor of the inguinal glands. In ancient times those who suffered from such tumours, because of war injuries, were useless for rejoining the fight, for fear of being wounded again. A wider meaning has been given to this word: fear caused by a guilty conscience, viz tagata kauhaga more, e-ma'e-no, e-aga-aga tahaga-nó; is an expression which refers to a man who has a guilty conscience and, imagining (e-ma'a-nó) that others talk about him, behaves accordingly (e-aga-aga tahaga-nó), for instance, blaming others or constantly asking about rumours.
