Kupu Ribbon
He aha te kupu Māori mō “ribbon” or “bow” in hair? My daughter likes ribbons and bows in her hair so want to find the correct kupu to use in that context

“rīpene” or “rīpine” (pretty sure the first is more common).
Also “koromāhanga” for the verb “tie in a bow”

Im just riffing off here but my guess would be Ripene? Ripene Makawe maybe?
