Etymology

The etymology given here seems to be a folk etymology, and while, honestly, I think it's a rather pretty idea, it seems likely that there's a better explanation, as the Māori aroha appears to be a cognate, and also means 'love'. Anyone know what the Proto-Polynesian root might look like?

The root is arofa. I've corrected the section to reflect this. --86.137.156.17 (talk) 20:49, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
