Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko Hodor, ko Hodor, ko Hodor. Ko Hodor te Hodor? Ko Hodor. Ko Hodor, ko Hodor. Ko Hodor! Ahakoa ka raruraru pea tēnei rerenga kōrero ki te tokomaha, ka mārama ngā kaiwhaiwhai o te whakaaturanga rongonui a HBO, Game of Thrones, ko te wāhanga tuarima o te whakaaturanga i te US i te pō whakamutunga, ka mārama ki te tohutoro. Ko Hodor te tangata uaua, te tangata maamaa o te whānau Stark i Winterfell. Ko tōna āhuatanga motuhake, ko te mea kotahi anake te kupu e kōrero ana: 'Hodor.' Ko Hodor, he pūāhua i roto i te Game of Thrones, i whiwhi i tōna ingoa nā te mea e kī ana ia i te kupu 'Hodor' i ngā wā katoa. Tērā pea kei a ia te mate o te kupu, e ai ki a Jordan Lewis, o te Kura Hauora o Penn State. Engari ko te hunga i pānui i te raupapa pukapuka A Song of Ice and Fire nā George R R Martin tērā pea e mōhio ana ki tētahi mea kāore i te mōhio ngā kaiwhaiwhai pouaka whakaata: ehara tōna ingoa i te Hodor. E ai ki tana tupuna tupuna a Old Nan, ko Walder tōna ingoa tūturu. 'Kāore he tangata i mōhio i ahu mai a 'Hodor' i hea,' e ai ki a ia, 'engari i te tīmatanga o tana whakahua i a ia, ka tīmata rātou ki te karanga i a ia ki taua ingoa. Ko te kupu anake i a ia.' Ahakoa i whakaarotia e ia, kāore rānei, i waihangahia e Martin tētahi pūāhua hei tauira pukapuka mō tētahi tangata e mate ana i tētahi mate ā-rōpū e kiia nei ko te aphasia whakapuaki. E ngaro ana te kaha ki te korero. I te tau 1861, i whakamāramatia te tākuta French a Paul Broca ki tētahi tangata ko Louis-Victor Leborgne te ingoa. Ahakoa he pai tonu te māramatanga me te mahi hinengaro a Mr Leborgne, ka ngaro haere te kaha ki te whakaputa i te korero whai kiko i roto i te 20 tau. Ka rite ki a Hodor, i tapaina te tangata nei ko Tan nā te mea kotahi noa iho tana kupu: 'Tan.' He torutoru noa iho nga ra i muri i tana tutaki ki a Tākuta Broca, ka mate a Leborgne. I kitea e te whakamātautau a Tākuta Broca he tūkino i te kiko, he'mate' rānei, i roto i te rākau o mua o te haurua roro maui o Mr Leborgne, i te taha tonu o tētahi kōpikopiko roro e kiia nei ko te rākau taha. I te tau 1861, i kitea e tētahi tākuta o Wīwī, ko Tākuta Broca tētahi wāhanga o te roro e whai wāhi ana ki te reo. I mohiotia ko te rohe o Broca (i whakaahuatia ki te whero). Ko te kino ki te rohe o Broca ka raru te reo. I roto i ngā tau e rua e whai ake nei, i whiwhi roro a Tākuta Broca i ētahi atu tūroro 12 me ngā tohu o Mr Leborgne...
Ko Hodor tētahi pūāhua i roto i te Game of Thrones e kōrero ana i te kupu kotahi anake. E ai ki te tohunga he mate neurological pea tana, he mate aphasia. Koinei te wāhi i whara ai te wāhanga o te roro e whakahaere ana i te reo. Ko te tikanga e pā ana ki te whiu ki te mahunga, te mate pukupuku, te pukupuku rānei.
