Ngeru, literally 'smooth', is the Maori word for cat.
In Māori, the word for cat is "ngeru".
The word "Kiwi" is from the Maori language.
A latin slang for an African american. (sorce urban dictionary)
cat ngeru, (Eng) poti, (Eng) puihi, (Eng) tori

Maybe this is referring to the word order of the language. English word order is Subject Verb Object. Many languages have word order that is V S O.For example New Zealand Maori:(Ka hopu) (te ngeru ) ( i te manu)(V) (S) (O)(catches) (the bird) (the cat)So the verb goes in the initial position in a sentence - a verb initial language.
