konekeEtymologyBorrowed from Māori kōneke.nounA farm vehicle used in New Zealand that has wheels in the back like a cart and runners in front like a sledge.“There are the tracks of sledge runners on the narrowing road; that lonely farmhouse around the next bend, a dairy farm twelve hundred feet or more above the harbour level, sends its milk-cans down to the bay by the old-style bush koneke that is the only means of conveyance on some of these lofty roads.”
