Has anyone ever heard of the word 'pitika' to describe the traditional Polynesian nose kiss?

I'm trying to track down the word 'pitika', to describe a traditional nose kiss on the Polynesian island of Anuta. 'Honi' seems to be the usual word, but a friend who went to Anuta said he thought the word was 'pitika'. Has anyone else heard of this in the Pacific islands?

I have never been there, but when I google it, I find pitika as a poet and a recipe, but not a nose kiss. I tried a translation site but it could not translate the word pitika. So sorry.
