Aria in modern Maori means. . . "Aria" as in the solo vocal piece, often with musical accompaniment.
Ariā has other meanings = likeness, resemblance, notion, idea, concept, theory, feeling, the visible material emblem of an atua.
The "Ariā" however were symbols [picto-graphs] which represented Ngā Atua [the deities], the elements [earth, air, fire, water etc..] trees [totara etc.] and a many other things.
Traditionally, Ariā were used only by Tohunga [priests, shamans, holy-men/women]
It is believed, theorised perhaps, that if the Ariā was allowed to evolve it could have become a written language, similar in concept to Chinese characters. Perhaps if European contact wasn't for another hundred years, this could have become a reality.
Sadly, there is next to no information about the Ariā in libraries and even less on line.
