Kotiate is a type of traditional hand weapon of the Māori, the indigenous people of New Zealand.
A kotiate is a short club normally made of wood or whalebone. Kotiate means to cut or divide the liver (koti = cut in two or divide; ate = liver), is probably taken from its shape, which resembles the lobed part of the human liver.[1]
