Hoani Nahi → Hoani Nahe – While 'Nahi' appears in some sources, and sometimes both 'Nahe' and 'Nahi' appear in the same source, it seems that 'Nahe' is the correct spelling. 'Nahe' is the only spelling used in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography article, the Cyclopedia of New Zealand article, and the numerous articles about him in the Journal of the Polynesian Society. In Papers Past magazines and journals, 'Hoani Nahe' occurs 78 times and 'Hoani Nahi' never. In Papers Past newspapers 'Hoani Nahe' occurs 696 times and 'Hoani Nahi' 47 times. All 47 times were articles about him, not by him; the letters that he wrote to newspapers were always singed 'Nahe'. We did once had an article called Hoani Nahe – it was merged into this one, rather than the reverse merge, for reasons I don't understand. Nurg (talk) 09:59, 29 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support as those are compelling reasons that Nahe is not just the common name, but also the correct spelling. Schwede 66 10:13, 29 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
