Pronunciation of tea versus tī[edit]

I reverted the changes which included the info 'Although it may sound the same to untrained European ears, but the pronunciation of the tī plant is quite different from the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. The ī being long in the former.' There is actually no difference in pronunciation when these words are used in English, and even if you are comparing the Polynesian pronunciation of tī to the English pronunciation of tea the vowels are practically identical in terms of length and everything else. Actually technically speaking the difference lies in the point of articulation of the consonant, the 't', rather than in the length or quality of the vowel. Kahuroa 12:16, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for correcting me. English is not my native tongue. But removing Tahitian at the same time was too much. --Tauʻolunga 19:47, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, my mistake. Kahuroa 20:30, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Had another look at this section and decided to take out the common names in various languages. This section is for synonyms in terms of scientific binomials rather than common names in other languages. Added the Polynesian names to a note instead. Note also that Tahitian isn't the only language to refer to the roots as tī as well - NZ Māori too, others probably also Kahuroa 22:13, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think not[edit]

This was on the page. Given ti grows wild all over hawaii, I doubt it's illegal elsewhere. >.> 69.38.12.154 (talk) 00:31, 5 June 2009 (UTC) (User: Cantras)[reply]

The plant pachira aquatics has been known to cause hallucinations, dizziness and nausea. These symptoms will only occur however when the plant is burned and its fumes are inhaled. The plant is illegal in most states (check with state for specific laws). Any persons in possession or under the influence can be cited for up to $5,000 and/or 6 months in jail. The plant usually makes its way into the states by way of smugglers from Latin American countries. It is classified under depressants in the DEA narcotics directory. It is one of the most dangerous narcotics on this list because of its high potency. After one inhalation of its smoke it can cause long-term effects including hair loss, teeth decay and severe allergic reactions to any type of smoke.

Ti[edit]

In all the time I lived on the Big Island, I never heard this plant or its leaves referred to as ki. It was always ti. Awien (talk) 17:07, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
