Turongo

A deity mentioned in a Māori invocation:

"There stands the consecrated staff;
It is the staff sacred to the God Turora, to Rereahi
And to Turongo.
There is the holy staff;
There, there it stands.
There stands the staff,
With the toctoc sacred to the God Haka
And to Haua.
There stands the holy staff;
There, there it stands."
