I was watching a documentary one day and these guys were talking about old Maori (sp?) and other customs of Polynesia and the tiki came up. They said they wore these tiki's around their necks and they showed some old pictures. Well, what got me was this, they said tie-kee, not tee-kee. It made me wonder if that wasn't the correct way to say it. These were scholars. So I say Tie-kee to annoy the pee out of Kiliki. And I see how you spelled your name and it made me think you also say "tie-kee" not "teekee".
