1832 H. Williams Jrnl. 6 Jan. in H. Carleton Life H. Williams (1874) I. 111 If they should be where they cannot land, everyone immediately ceases talking, and they commence karakia [their incantations].

1843 E. Dieffenbach Trav. N.Z. II. i. vii. 114 The ‘Karakia’ (prayers)..are most powerful when coming from a priest who is distinguished by high birth.

1862 A. S. Atkinson Jrnl. 10 Sept. in Richmond–Atkinson Papers (1960) I. xiii. 791 We got there just after the flag had been hoisted & while the karakia were being chanted.

1874 J. C. Johnstone Maoria 191 Karakia, incantations. In their use of this word the Maoris had no idea of prayer, and it is a mistake to attach that meaning to Karakia.

1905 W. Baucke Where White Man Treads 38 [The Maori's] ‘karakia’ (incantations) were invocations to his gods to preserve him from the Unknown.

1921 H. Guthrie-Smith Tutira x. 70 Preparing herself..by the recitation of proper karakias—incantations.

1949 P. H. Buck Coming of Maori (1950) iv. iii The priests established oral communication with their gods by means of Karakia. A Karakia may be defined as a formula of words which was chanted to obtain benefit or avert trouble... They cover a range which exceeds the bounds of religion. It is therefore impossible for one English word to cover adequately all the meanings of Karakia. All Karakia are chants but there are a number of chants,..which are not Karakia... Probably incantation is the nearest in general meaning.
