Pronunciation of Moa

At the risk of encouraging Lorne and Glen I offer the following:

Some years ago I purchased a children's book in NZ - Pukunui and his
friend Moata Moa - for my children naturally.  It is a good read with lots
of maori words and a pronunciation guide at the back.  Apparently the
correct pronunciation for Moa is mora not mower.  Can any NZ birders
comment on this?

Cheers

Steve
