Tühi / Tuhi

Not applicable: the sources do not provide any mythological origin story for a supernatural being called Tühi. Instead, the lexical root tuhi is recorded in Te Aka — the Māori dictionary — as a verb meaning 'to write, draw, record', and the phrase Te Tuhi appears as the name of a contemporary public art gallery in Pakuranga, Auckland. Personal-name uses (for example Tuhi Martukaw and Tuhi Timoti) and a Wikidata place-name (Tuhiba) are attested in the corpus but are not presented as mythic origins or as indicators of a spirit.

Not applicable as a supernatural entity: no source describes any physical or spectral appearance for a being named Tühi. The materials instead describe human-scale referents — the Te Tuhi gallery and individuals bearing the name — and the lexical meaning of tuhi in te reo Māori related to writing and drawing.

Not applicable as a supernatural entity: the provided sources do not ascribe powers, behaviors, or agency to any spirit named Tühi. The only behavioral content tied to the lemma 'tuhi' is the human action expressed by the verb in Māori — to write, draw, record — and descriptions of cultural activities at the Te Tuhi arts centre (exhibitions, programming).
