The long name of Taumata hill

A hill near Porangahau, New Zealand, is associated with a very long Māori place name. A widely circulated extended form has 85 Latin-script characters (not 84), while New Zealand’s official Gazetteer records a shorter macronized form: *Taumatawhakatangihangakōauauotamateapōkaiwhenuakitānatahu*. The name refers to Tamatea, who travelled across the land and played his flute for his beloved. Record claims therefore depend on which version and counting method are used.
