Etymology

[edit]

Probably related to Rarotongan reva “to float; flag” and tāreva “to beckon, to wave, to flutter” from Proto-Nuclear Polynesian *lewa₁ “to float or be suspended freely” (compare with Maori rewa “to float, to be elevated” and whakarewa “to suspend”, Tahitian reva “sky, lower airspace”).[1] (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.)
