Patu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A patu is a short-handled Māori club made of bone, stone or wood.
There are three types of patu: mere, meremere, and kotiate.
The word Patu is also commonly used in New Zealand, primarily by young Maori, to describe something which is broken, or substandard.
Patu is also a genus of spiders in the family Symphytognathidae, which occurs in Colombia and Oceania.
