In Te Reo Māori grammar, why is transportation (such as 'waka' or 'pahi') categorized under the 'O' possessive category (e.g., 'tōku waka')?

Because vehicles shelter and carry the individual, placing the person in a passive, carried relationship to the vehicle. Because vehicles are modern manufactured goods and all modern technology defaults to 'O' category. Because transportation is always owned collectively by the entire hapū rather than an individual. Because nouns ending in 'a' automatically take 'O' category possessives.

Correct Answer:

Because vehicles shelter and carry the individual, placing the person in a passive, carried relationship to the vehicle.
