Counting the 14 kuhane stations twice is a reasonable structure because two fortnights can be accomodated in a month. By giving 3 stations to the sun and keeping 4 to herself, a harmonious pattern is established, enabling a sun month equal to 30 or 31 days' duration.

The structure is also in agreement with the structure of the week (3 days 'in the sun' followed by 4 'down on earth', and with a suggestion of an 8th day intercalated. 4 * 8 = 32 is the measure for the cycle, at 32 there is a new beginning.

Te Pou has 9 at first, a dark number. 14 'days' later it has 25 ('fire-fire') the opposite characteristic.

Hatinga Te Kohe has 12 at first, indicating how the sun cycle (12 months) has reached its end. In the next round it has 28, indicating how the moon cycle (28 nights) has reached its end.

Nga Kope Ririva has 6 in the first round and 22 in the second. 22, we have learned, is probably a measure indicating half a cycle (7 * π). In the same vein we can interpret 6 to be half 12.

The first round can be interpreted as the round of the sun, the second as the round of the moon.
