I give you the actual Maori for Dunedin. None of this Otepoti shit.
And although the evidence that it took hold is somewhat weak it is still way stronger than the case for Otepoti, which is clearly a joke name from two English loan words, oaty and boaty.
Questions for you though;
Where’s this?
And where are these places?
They’re all here in the New Zealand of 1839. I’m not sure where Duaterra & Shunghi are but they sound somewhat Latin/Greek (Duaterra - two worlds/lands) and Chinese (Shunghi) to my ears.
It is said that the past is another country. Hmmm.

I get intrigued by blacked-out words.
Did you do the black-outs?
Korrakorra could be Maori, but not Duaterra and Shunghi. IMO
Rename everything in Maori. Demand all legal papers only in Maori. Government proceedings only in Maori. Then as the cherry on top insist that a non-elected randomly chosen Maori have veto power over everything. All English abolished. Libraries closed. Maori first. Out whack the whackiest. One also could insist an embargo on all non-Maori items and food and no grazing of live stock. Go to 18th century Green. Power to the Cannibal! We must be PURE.
