People. Iwi means People. 'E' is what you start a sentence with when referring to a person. E.g. e hine (girl), e Mere (Mary). Note: This only happens with words of two syllables or less. The 'e' is not spoken if the word has three or more syllables. E.g. Rawiri (David), Katarina (Katherine). The 'e' at the end of the phrase is a 'throw in'. Similiar to oi! eh! and does not need to be spoken although it is found in songs and poems for 'flow'.
