The genderr of Kui is difficult to resolve. Although it seems to be a modern boy's name, some texts refer to Kui as "she": http://www.sacred-texts.com/pac/om/om08.htm#page_65 We need a disambiguation page and a separate article on Kui the Horseclaw, a character in Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.

Kui usually means 'old woman' in Māori - gender not a problem for us. Never heard of it as a boy's name. Kahuroa 23:16, 16 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
