1. (verb) to protrude (especially of the tongue), poke out the tongue. (From the MÄori Dictionary Online)
I'm not familiar with the term "whetero." It might be a misspelling or a term used in a specific context that I'm not aware of. Could you provide more information or context to help me better understand?
They are two different performance components. Pukana is the dilating of the eyes and whetero is the protrusion of the tongue performed by a male only.
"Whetero" does not have a recognized meaning in English. It seems to be a misspelling or a made-up word. If you can provide more context or clarify the intended meaning, I may be able to help further.
