meneheke

meneheke
these two words, almost completely unknown today, seem to have been used to shout at someone not to go somewhere or to take something, but to wait first: kokoe he menehe ke, kokoe he menehune , or just: meneheke. Menehue also seems to mean "to arrive late". The meaning of these archaic terms is far from clear, but they also seem to refer to socially inferior persons.
