Maori word root combinations tend to have a major root subject followed by qualifier suffixes. This means a literal translation from Maori to English produces a lot of transposed word combinations.
For example:
Rotorua → roto ⇒ lake and rua ⇒ two = two lakes.
Kaimoana → kai ⇒ food and moana ⇒ sea = seafood.
