The first 7 kuhane stations on the island proper have names beginning with Te. The 8th of the redmarked items above (Hatinga Te Kohe) has Te inside. I interpret Te as a sign for 'sun-is-present'. In autumn he is no longer present on the island. The black 29th night has one Te at the beginning and one inside in its name. 7 + 1 + 2 = 10.

Nga at the very beginning of the list may be connected with Te Taanga, because he and not Hau Maka 'owns' the 3 islets. The 13th item 'belongs' neither to Te Taanga nor Hau Maka and neither nga nor te is used in the name. Possibly it means Taanga is a person in the generation before Hau Maka while Tama ('the child') is in the generation after.

Double he at Tama may be a sign of 'confusion', 'error' - a 'bad fish' (ika kino):

He, article, also verbal prefix. Hé, where? I hé, where; ki hé, whereto; mai hé, wherefrom. Vanaga.

Article. P Mgv., Mq.: e, the. Sa.: se, id. Churchill.

Pau.: He, false, crooked. Mgv.: hehe, crazy, to wander. Ta.: he, error. Mq.: he, confusion. Sa.: sesē, wrong. Ma.: he, a mistake. Churchill.

Mgv.: He, a locust pest of coconuts. Ta.: he, caterpillar. Mq.: he, grasshopper. Sa.: se, id. Ma.: whe, caterpillar. Churchill.

1. The, this, which; ko te, the. T Pau., Mgv., Mq., Ta.: te, the. 2. Tê, negative prepositive; without, not; hiri tê reka, to walk without noise. T Mgv.: te, no, not, without: Mq.: te, not (postpositive). Churchill.

It is probably significant that He is used only at the beginning of 2 of the names of the months, viz. at the beginning and the end of the year:

1	2	3	4	5	6
*He Anakena*	*Hora iti*	*Hora nui*	*Tagaroa uri*	*Ko Ruti*	*Ko Koró*
12	11	10	9	8	7
*He Maro*	*Vaitu potu*	*Vaitu nui*	*Tarahao*	*Tehetu'upú*	*Tua haro*

Likewise we should notice Te at the beginning of the 8th month (Te-Hetu'u-Pú).
