What does ko wai ra kotiro mean?

"Ko wai ra kotiro" is a Māori phrase, but it is not grammatically correct and therefore doesn't have a clear meaning.

Here's why:

* "Ko wai" means "who" or "what".

* "Ra" is an intensifier, like "indeed" or "actually".

* "Kotiro" means "girl".

The phrase is missing a key element, such as a verb or a preposition. It would need to be expanded to make sense.

Possible corrections:

* "Ko wai ra te kotiro?" - "Who is that girl?" (This uses the definite article "te" before "kotiro").

* "Ko wai ra kotiro i reira?" - "Who is that girl over there?" (This adds a preposition "i reira" meaning "over there").

* "Ko wai ra kotiro e noho ana?" - "Who is that girl sitting down?" (This adds a verb "e noho ana" meaning "is sitting down").

The phrase you provided is incomplete and doesn't have a clear meaning on its own. You need to add more information to make it grammatically correct and understandable.
